Connectify & WiFi antenna

Connectify & WiFi antenna
I have a static caravan in France with site wide WiFi - but the subscription is linked to a single device / mac address.
Historically I ran a PC with 2 WiFi cards running Connectify - so I had one big directional antenna pointing at the site one, then another forming a local hot spot.
Unfortunately, Windows 10 seems to have broken everything, and I think it's a WiFi card compatibility issue. So I need to buy at least 1 new card.
So.... I was looking at new cards and some have multiple antenna - but it's not clear to me whether I can mix different antenna types on a single card - does anyone know ?
Would I be better still having a couple of separate cards ?

Multiple antennas may improve signal reception/broadcast strength though.

I wish I could fathom all this stuff out......
Connectify seem to claim supporting a hotspot using a single card, but think I will stick with 2 cards - one for the site wifi and another for a local hot spot.
