Why not cheat?
If you've already got a satellite there and are planning on punching a hole through for an antenna, simply run a ethernet wire through that hole instead and wire in a cheap extender that has access point mode like the EX3700?
It should provide more than enough throughput
I'm trying to get coverage outside. The wall I can't get a signal to is the external wall to my house so whatever goes outside has to be suitable for outdoor use. It doesn't look like the EX3700 is weatherproof. Also, I'm not comfortable having an ethernet cable outside the house if it doesn't support 8021x on each end otherwise anyone could plug into it and access my internal network.
netgear has the netgear airbridge that can be POE powered and has an access point mode. tp-link makes several models as well.
You could figure out how you wanted to connect it inside the home for security.
but I'd look for something like that over trying to setup extendernal antennas. a better option with room for upgrades/changes as needed.
