WNR3500L V1 vs V2

After being very happy with my WNR2500L in my Australian office, I recently purchased another for my Philippines office. This second one happrened to be a WNR3500L v2, so I opened both up to see what the physical differences are.

Here are the results:

  WNR3500L v1 WNR3500L v2

If you are not sure which version of the WRN3500 you have, check the FCC ID number on the rear of the case and compare it to the above.

As wifi coverage and 'better v1 or v2? Because I read that the v1 has 3 antennas while the v2 has 2.
