Why can't the signal from a scanner antenna be brought into a wireless router, and then broadcast the same as a wireless internet system works.

If I underatand this, you'd like to take your scanner antenna and run the coax to your "wireless router" so you could "rebroadcast or transmit" the received antenna signal
through and
out of your wireless router.
OK. Here is the problem with that:
Generally, your scanner is needing VHF Hi or Low band, UHF, or 800Mhz signals to receive properly.
IF you run
THOSE signals through your wireless router, they are going to be
CONVERTED to a 2.4Ghz signal.
Now, if you had a scanner the received 2.4Ghz, that would probably work great.
But, once converted, the signals received
BY the antenna would be
USELESS to the scanner on the VHF Lo or Hi bands as well as UHF or 800Mhz....
(I think, at least
logically anyway...)
