Thanks in advance for the input!
Actually, there is no such thing as a "USB antenna". An external antenna for WiFi would need be connected using coaxial cable. What you are probably speaking of, and what you really would want is a customer premises equipment (CPE) device such as made by Ubiquiti and TP-Link. Search for such devices on Amazon.... they have many good choices. CPE is a WiFi high powered Transmitter/Receiver and high gain directional antenna all in one nice weatherproof package. You only need connect it with Ethernet cable.... power is fed to it over the same cable. I had one such device years ago I mounted on PVC pipe to my RV ladder as needed.... In some cases I was able to connect to WiFi routers well over a mile away. It was extremely helpful. I sold it when more and more WiFi connections became encrypted and I migrated to iPads with cellular connections instead.
