wireless router

How do I get this nighthawk router to pick up a signal from my house using a antenna that I connected to the back of it? Wanting it to pick up my wifi signal?

    I'm not sure what you're attempting to do. 

    do you already have a router and you're wanting it repeated? 

    Are you signed up for an ISP that supplies internet through a wireless broadcast like a point to point system? 

    What actual devices/setup do you have? 

     

    You didn't give us much to go off for what you're doing or what your current setup is so its tough to go over anything.

    Routers don't "pick up" a wifi signal. They broadcast it.
