Pointing a high-gain antenna through a window might work well (if there is no thin-metal sunray screen in the glass).
Always remember the non-trivial working of a high-gain-antenna transmitter. Due to regulations the EIRP in the top direction is as high as the omnidirectional EIRP of a low gain antenna. The amount of emitted energy overall is much lower with high gain.
The gain of the high-gain antenna is in the receiving side !
And I agree with @biomesh, split the link task, from the AP task. The wifi requirements for both are each others opposite.
I do install SXTsq5ac-SXTsq5ac link, with a hap ac2 as AP for client service. Very cost effective, and great performance, with the SXTsq5ac outdoors.
