I'm very impressed with the thoroughness of the tests performed on wireless routers and this contributed to SmallNetBuilder being my almost exclusive site to get information in this area. However, I was long pondering myself a question and I never saw anywhere a test to reflect this: For routers with "omnidirectional" since I know the radiation is not really so but resemble a donut in shape, to what extent I can improve reception if I experiment with antennas positions ? Would Antenna Diversity and a router with three external antennas pointing in different directions help me achieve a more consistent coverage from various points in the house than when having all three antennas parallel placed ? I guess is that is true, routers which still have external movable and removable antennas would get extra points both because can be upgraded to higher gain ones, but also because of the possibility to point them toward the three spatial axes.
