Mobile wifi router with VPN capability/SMA ports? Advice please

Long story short, WFH in old stone house in Italy. Bought TP Link M7530 which just about did the job because walls are very thick....

Reading lots here so need mobile wifi router with SMA lots in case I do need to go to external antenna and pref ability to add my Nord VPN to above so I can watch TV on a firestick, as opposed to just laptop.

Location has 5G (but only if I work from the car - these 2 foot thick walls...) so looking for advice on 4G & whether it is worth trying to buy a 5G which meets my needs.

Any advice very gratefully received, or please point me to a previous discussion, if covered before
Many thanks
 
What's the structure of the roof, and is there space to host a 4G/5G router up there? If there is a roof space that is outside of the confines of the thick walls, can get a decent 4G/5G signal but could then make WiFi available below (how many floors, structure of floors?) might be a possibility. Also need to soldier how hot the roof space might get in summer and if the router can survive those conditions...
 
@Monkeycat what you need is an external router, they come with (and are powered via) flat network cables you can close the window on - no drilling.

Examples are Huawei CPE Win, ZTE MC7010, Tp-link nr210-outdoor etc.

You should use something like this in bridge mode with a WiFi router inside.
Searching for one that can do VPN might be a wild goose chase, it's the WiFi router which should do it btw.
