what is the difference between the one with 2 antennas and the 3 antennas?

It's dual band N. It has 2 separate 802.11N based connections. (2.4 Ghz, 5Ghz) And one for G (2.4 Ghz). It offers higher throughput if you have hardware on the other end that supports dualband N.

One of two things, either you will have a stronger signal reception or they are for individual bands like a/b/g/n and the new one think it was ac or something with 2 letters i know some routers broadcast over multiple bands at the same time so it should use whichever is strongest and readily available

The main difference is the one with 3 antennas gets more Mbps (bits per second). I think it also has a little heaver encryption. Not sure about the range but I would assume it is better.

adding more antennas on the receiver can be used to improve link quality and reliability, throughput between the transmitter and receiver, or both.(Spatial multiplexing)-is a multiple antenna technique that increases the data rate as compared to single antenna techniques. Theoretically, spatial multiplexing can increase the capacity of the system as pairs of transmitter and receiver antennas are added to the system. The source data (usually data requested by the user) is split into two or more independent data streams that are transmitted over multiple antennas, called spatial streams.

The one for $295 which is manufacturers reference #460102 is a newer later model that is supposed to be the only one marketed now. It works just as well as the earlier version that is $349. The newer one may require an adaptor #971119 to connect to some antennas. I have one and it works great, just understand that it will boost the 3G signal. If that is what you are looking for, it will work great!

3ft is better...heck 4ft is even better than both. The taller the antenna the better the range/reception.

It shouldn't matter. They are redundant but allow for different angles. I picked the most convenient and then ran the antenna wire through my outside wall.

Sounds like you will have conflict of two signals on the same bands. I have seen houses with two dish or antennas, but I suppose there is a switch in thier line or receivers.

It actually has two different antenna connectors and the one you use and antenna type you use depends on how you want to use it. There isn't really a straight up answer to your question. You also need to be a licensed operator unless it's an emergency.

I have two antenna, 3ft and 4ft. The best for reception is 4 ft. I use the 3ft for small places.

Don't know about functional differences, but this antennae worked great. Picked up lots of stations about 50 miles from a city! Would not hold up in strong wind though

it appeared to me that the primary difference was in design configuration. I bought the model I did because it was represented to withstand severe winter weather conditions (we get substantial snow and wind in our location). The towers we get signal from are 75-85 miles away across two mountain ranges, and our reception is excellent.

Yes there are two antennas for the 2.4GHz radio and two antennas for the 5ghz radio because of the mimo operation of this unit both are N type connectors. If you need further assistance please don't hesitate to ask

The three antennas are included, do make sure that you attach them per the install instructions.p or they will not work optimally.

It's for a single antenna but is well worth the price for 2 if you need to extend your internet signal a long distance. It works great if there are not to many obstructions between the antennas.

I tried this antenna and returned it. No improvement seen. When I then commented on this in my review I was told "you should have bought three, it's a three antenna router" (not by Asus, but somebody that was trying to be "helpful") . For the price of three antenna's, I could have bought a better router, so that makes no sense whatsoever.

I do not know allot about antennas. But I did not get this one to work. I spent 100 dollars at best but and now I am very happy. This could be because I just got one of the bad ones.

It comes with both antennas. One on the base, the other with the outside antenna. But again I found this configuration not to work and the tech person said I needed to buy the direction outside antenna to get it to work since my signal was not strong enough. Yet I get 1 - 2 bars on mycell phone???I ended up getting the verizon repeater, that worked better.

1 is power in2 is antenna in3 is out to TVPeriod. any thing more and you need a splitter with power amplifier

It is a dual band router one is a 2.4ghz antenna the other is a 5ghz antenna plus on the 2.4 you have a guest account you can turn the guest account off if you are not going to use it
