EX7000 Wifi Range Extender - Antenna change for longer range


I have a NETGEAR EX7000 Nighhawk Wifi Range Extender. It comes standard with 3 antennas (I think of 5dBi of gain).
Question:
1. Can I change all 3 antennas to a higher gain one? 11dBi?  Where can I buy them?
2. Could I change "only one antenna" for a directional panel antenna which I will point to the router source direction? and keep the other 2 antennas standard.

Any suggestions are welcome...objective is increase signal level "reception" from router from clubhouse which it is 500 feet away.

    Netgear does not support the use of Third party antennas use at your own risk.
