dont know to be honest dude, I have got the 150N which has got external antennas (and is discontinued). I can use mine anywhere around the house and in the garden no probs.
I understand what you are saying but maybe routers are going the way of mobile phones. Just because my mobile phone hasnt got an external antenna doesnt mean it isnt going to get a signal. I recommend linksys on the fact that it is a solid brand and my previous 2 devices have been excellent.
It must be the way technology is going, non of the new linksys routers, even the top of the range ne has got external antennas. The wrt54g they still do has got external antennas and that is donkeys years old
