How much of a benefit are the External Antennas that are on some of the Asus wireless routers?
I am inclined to buy one of the devices with the External Antennas, but do not know if the antennas really make a difference, or are just "window dressing."
Thanks,

... would love if this site did a test of the External high gain antennas ....

I'm not thinking about the high-gain add-ons, specifically, so much as asking whether having the external antennas is worthwhile. Of course, I recognize that one of the benefits having the external antennas is the ability to change them to high gain antennas.

Plus new routers have beam forming ability. So I'd say external antennas have an advantage. When you try to increase gain on an antenna, it's radiation patter in V and H plane changes. So it is complex issue designing an antenna or antenna array.
