Dual Antennae on Wireless Routers

I want to run a wireless router with only one of its antennae.

The other antenna port on the router will be connected to an external yagi for a link to a neighbouring property.

The other property will have a WAP configured in AP Client mode to act as a receiver.

Will my wireless router still work with only one antenna?

Why are they fitted with two antennae anyway?

Any help/advice/comments would be welcome.

TIA

Nick
