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.

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.
