I'm coming late to this thread, but you will always be better with an
external antenna port, since it gives you options, one of which is a longer
antenna. Another is to remote the antenna to a better location by means of
a coax cable. Or, of course, both!
This advice is good only if there are no moving parts. With a single
antenna, a small change in location can make a big difference in signal
strength. MIMO helps a lot, but getting a good pattern using movable
antennae is difficult, so if you can't get good coverage with one router
you need multiple routers.
