Routers with internal antennas don't do distance or walls as well compared to external. I'd only tell you to use internal antenna router for shorter distance with not more than 1 walls in between.
I think internal have equivalent of 3 dbi antennas. External antenna routers come with 3-9 dbi antennas. 3 dbi came with some of the older routers. Newer routers coming with 7 dbi antennas.
With external antennas, you can always swap better ones in easily. I switched my router from 3 dbi to 7 dbi antennas.
For internal, you can search for antenna mod. Usually drill holes to mount external antennas & connect them onto PCB.
With internal antennas, just assume you'll get half the distance of external. Also, you may get some WiFi errors & drop to slower WiFi speeds if distance is too far for the router. ie. I had this happen on E1000 with internal antennas.
For CPU, R6300v2 is dual core Cortex A9 @ 800 MHz. So, very good. You will get QoS when you install DD-WRT firmware.

I sell and test both on Ebay.
Purchase a Asus RT-AC68U instead. Has External Antenna's, and Awesome distance. VPN Speeds are faster too.
Can pick them up for about $60.00 and blows both of them away speed wise. Also they are Kong DDWRT Supported as well as All other Firmware including Tomato, Merlin and AdvancedTomato. _________________ My Karma ran over your Dogma
