we have this Westell DSL model 7500 and we are trying to boost the internet to the house from the garage. we got an antenna but it has a coax cable and the westell doesn't have coax hook up. is there a converter or an adapter that we can connect the two together?
can you convert a coax cable to westell model 7500

You can't do what you want easily. You could probably open the Westell and attempt to solder the antenna. You may or may not be successful. A better answer would be to purchase an outdoor WIFI access point. Mount it on the outside of the house facing the garage and run ethernet cable back to the router.

Are y ou trying to extend the WiFi range of your 7500 to the garage? What distance / how many walls are there?
If so - you either need a router with swappable antenaes, or another solution to your problem.
- get a new DSL modem/router combo, which allows for external antenae. You are limited to what your ISP has approved
- get a new DSL modem only (or see whether you can swiitch your 7500 into "bridge" mode), then get separate router which allows for external antenae
- run an Ethernet cable to the garage (or use a pair of PowerLine adapters if everything is on single electrical circuit)
