Yes, with most WiFi routers, it's a simple process to configure them as 
an access point.  You can also buy access points without the 
router/firewall function.  I have one, a TP-Link TL-WA901ND. However, 
the reason for the external antenna is to obtain better range than the 
built in antenna provides.
