You would always buy an antenna, a cable and then use duct tape or whatever to mount the antenna to the wall.

The ones I linked above are just examples, I don't know if they are good.

 

Just so you know, putting it in a closet will reduce the signal strength since it will have to penetrate the door. Also, you want the cable as short as possible because it adds resistance and thus lowers the signal strength.

Also, not all routers has the same connector. The one I linked above is for RP-SMA which is the most common from what I know.

why not mount your whole router on the wall? the holes are already there...

Anything I write is just a comment, take is as such, there is no guarantees associated with anything I say.
