Mine now has Firmware 2.18, but it didnt come with that one, it had like one down from that, mine has two antenna, and has worked great since new, I can go everywhere I need to go with it in my house (I have 2200 sq ft) and if I wanted something stronger I would have got a proxim or something of the like, not cisco, lol Since I work for a very large Wisp I can try out all kinds of wireless gear. But the Dlink works great for what I wanted it for, besides, I only use it for one laptop the rest are hard wired. Not to mention if I want a stronger signal I can just slap on a stronger dbi antenna on the dlink as well.
