    1) Is any of the antenna removable and suitable for an external antenna?
    2) Does it have a proper bridge mode?

    4.1.3 Bridge
    Bridge or WDS (Wireless Distribution System) allows your ASUS
    wireless router to connect to another wireless access point
    exclusively, preventing other wireless devices or stations to access
    your ASUS wireless router. It can also be considered as a wireless
    repeater where your ASUS wireless router communicates with
    another access point and other wireless devices
