I ordered the antenna from Amazon (this one, https://www.amazon.com/Netgear-6000450-MIMO-Antenna-Connectors/dp/B00DN3J03O/), and I put it on a small USB powered fan to keep the temperature cool. This seems to help, since I can move the antenna around a bit if it starts to lag and that usually fixed it.

If you go with 2 outside Yagi directional antennas, it WILL make a difference as it allows you to get carrier aggregation. If you don't want to go big, outside then, this little one is surprisingly effective, with true MIMO capability: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00DN3J03O/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o05_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1

That looks like a surprisingly good option if you already have a decent signal and want to get a bit more performance, there are however a few things I feel are worth mentioning about it:

It does not support 600MHz. This means less 5G capabilities as well as worse LTE performance in some rural areas. If you're lucky enough to live in an n41 area (as of January 2021 106 million people have n41 coverage) then that antenna looks like a good option.
It does not support 4x4 MIMO, it only does 2x2. That means the performance won't be as good as it could be. You can however achieve 4x4 MIMO by using 2 of those antennas and spacing them out 3-6 feet.

In general you get better results with directional antennas. It really depends on how much time and money you want to invest into getting a better signal.

I'd recommend this to start and see how it performs. https://www.amazon.com/Netgear-6000450-MIMO-Antenna-Connectors/dp/B00DN3J03O/ref=sr_1_3?dchild=1&keywords=netgear+antenna&qid=1594594787&s=electronics&sr=1-3

If you want something to put outside there are tons of great choices they just cost a lot more to setup.

Thanks. I already have an antenna setup like this connected to MOFI OpenWRT router for my main AT&T gateway. One yagi and one omni, though I should replace the omni with another yagi, since the second antenna isn't used if the first one can't establish a stable link anyway. At least that's how it is in MOFI's radio module.

Sprint's MIFI 8000 is my backup/kids internet. MOFI stays connected to it via Wi-Fi, and whenever MOFI determines the AT&T link to be down, it routes the traffic through MIFI. Additionally, my kid's devices and all TVs are routed to MIFI by default so our bandwidth is not polluted when my wife and I need fast internet for work.
