TP-Link has this one
There are more high end ones, and you can get outdoor enclosures for them. But that appears to be the cheapest one I've found that's meant for outdoor use.
If everything MUST be self-contained and indoors (read: no drilling or slightly open windows)
Consider something like an AC68U (TM-ac1900 refurbished/rebranded for as low as $50ish on amazon/ebay), set it in media bridge mode using the 2.4GHz band to connect to the local internet and the 5GHz to connect to the site.
This SHOULD give a much stronger connection than going with a traditional extender.

As far as "outdoor wifi antennas" that would probably be something akin to an outdoor wireless access point.

You MIGHT actually be able to do something somewhat similar to the above with just an AP. I would need to research it. Likely something to do with "mesh mode" (mesh is a loaded term which means different things for different products FYI). Also be aware that there are different levels of "weatherproof" and "outdoor". Some devices assume that they're under an awning.
If you have the opportunity to go wired, use it. WiFi extenders usually decrease performance for everybody because air is a shared medium.
Imagine a guy screaming in your direction. If you shut up and listen, you can repeat what he said in the direction of another guy. The other guy will have to wait for you to stop yelling, then answer, you'll have to wait and yell at the first guy.
Sounds pretty inefficient? That's a WiFi extender for you.
Use MoCa to get signal to your bedroom. Put a switch there if you want to use more than one device. Put an AP there if you want wireless.
MoCa adapter $169.00
Dumb switch $15.99
Access point $75.88
So, you'll have to shell out $260.87 for a setup that'll be orders of magnitude better than your WiFi extender stuff.
