You are using is backwards. You want to put that device in the other room and use it to connect back to the router. You would then plug your PC into the antenna. This device may or may not be able to improve over the ability of the radio in your PC. It may because it is directional and concentrates the signal in one direction.
As you have found out all wireless radios transmit at exactly the same power there is no way to legally transmit more signal. You would have to use another form of network like powerline or place a repeater half way in between the room and the router in the hopes the new signal would reach. I would not use a repeater until all else fails it greatly reduces the bandwidth.

So this Antena that i bought i have no chances to increase the signal its only one direction i will return it so what other options i got to get more signals from router ? a better router or a repeater . The strange thing is this TP link have an option to act as repeater but didnt knew its only one direction .
You could buy 2 I guess and put one on each end and maybe it would help...doubt it.
You only have 2 choices with this device. You put in the far room and point it at the router BUT the devices on the far end must connect via ethernet this is not a wireless repeater it is acting as a client bridge.
You connect it to the router as you stated with a ethernet cable but it does no good to have both the router and this in the same room since your problem is your antenna on your end devices are probably not good enough to penetrate the walls. What you would have to do is run the cable to another location closer to the other room so the signal could use the cable to get part of the way and then use wireless the rest of the way. Although people call this a repeater it is not it is running as a AP. This solution if you can get the cable close enough is the best option.
