Replace one antenna with directional antenna?

All,

    I recently bought an R6400 and am very impressed with the wireless range.  I'm toying with replacing one antenna with a directional antenna sitting outside my house point to my pool/patio area.

 

Antenna: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00HH3BURA/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o05_s...

If I do this, how will this affect the range within the house?  Will it dramatically reduce range?  Is there any way to split the connection to keep the internal omnidirectional antenna as well?

it's better to use APs. If

it's better to use APs. If you need to place them outside, you can get outdoor ones
