   There's no external antenna on the router that I can see. It's a   
   Gateway router provided by AT&T as an enticement when I originally   
   switched from DSL to their internet service (about 4 or 5 years ago).   
   I have it sitting horizontally but it can be placed in an upright   
   position.
