The first photo below is my Verizon MiFi hotspot, showing two black circles on each side of the charge port, which circles appear to be plugs. I tried to pop out the plugs with my fingernail, but the resistance was high. So i stopped. I did not want to dig out the plug unless needed, for fear of distorting the plug.
This second photo below is a sample image I captured off the web, showing two cables inserted on each side of the charge port. Looks like my MiFi hotspot.

Below is what is in my Amazon shopping cart right now. Do I need to add anything else?
Note: the cart only contains two of the $15.99 antennas plus one $129.99 router.

I just noticed that if I add $3.02 to my cart I get free shipping. Maybe buy an ethernet cable long enough to go between the router and the PI? Like this ten ft long cable:
Sounds good.

I am going to wait a while before I place my order in case somebody chimes in with more stuff to buy.
If I do not hear back in a couple of hours, I will order tonight.
This is exciting stuff!

I just added one of these to the cart to plug into the MiFi hotspot:
Earlier you posted this configuration:
"Cab of truck phone using wifi connecting to >>> r7000 router <<< pi connected via ethernet cable."
The MiFi is not included in the above configuration. How doe the MiFi fit into the configuration?
Is the MiFi in the trailer or truck?
If this antenna adapter plugs into the MiFi hot spot, do the other gold colored ends plug into the router? If so, does the router have enough ports or do i need more stuff?

It will be set with internet access coming from wifi source aka the mifi.
So its like this
internet > mifi > wirelessly to r7000.
Once its in the r7000 anything connected to the r7000 like the person in the truck and the pi will have internet access.
Its also why if the mifi is off or doesn't have a signal everything local works just not the internet.
