Here's a cheap experiment with a high order
probability for success:

There are numerous examples of this type of
antenna. Magnet mount(I presume you have
steel roof too).
5' cable built in. Note connector style.
There are 4 variations on a theme for
SMA connectors. It's likely that this antenna
will mate with one of the jacks on your router
but not a 100% bet. You might search around
eBay for one that DOES mate . . . or get an
adapter.
This is not a free lunch endeavor. Energy
that USED to circulate around the interior
will be approximately halved. One half
being conducted outside. Radiation patterns
are a toss up too. But the outside
performance WILL be improved.

It's a lot easier to run an Ethernet cable outside than getting the right
coax cable and crimp ends for the antennae.
You can locate another wifi access point outside. Just make sure to get
one that is outdoor rated or put it under the eaves

Finding one that stands up to the outdoor
elements is problematic. You usually have
to settle for a plain vanilla device and
put it in an rf transparent enclosure (wood
or plastic) with perhaps a little fan for
venting/cooling. Then you need to bring
both power and cat6 cable out to the router's
location.
The antenna cited comes with coax and connector
already crimped on. There are antennas offered
with longer cables . . . but tiny cables at those
frequencies are not friendly to power stream
swimming to the far end of the cable.
