Dlink router - antenna compatibility

I own a Dlink DI-713P wireless router, and am looking into extending
its range with an indoor antenna. All the Dlink antenna's specify that
you need a "Rev C1 or higher" of the router to be able to connect.
Anyone know where you find that Rev code ? My router says "HW: F1" and
"FW: 2.60 b2". Does that mean it won't work with any of the antenna's
?

Also, has anyone had good or bad experiences with those antenna's to
extend the indoor range ?

Follow-up: a Dlink rep tells me that, if my antenna's are removable
from the back of my router, I have a "Rev C1" device. I have removable
antenna's. And as far as I know all DI-713P have those. This answer
conflicts with a response I received from a Dlink tech support guy -
who basically said that based on the specs I gave I don't have a Rev
C1 device. Can anyone give me an indication what a "Rev C1" Dlink
wireless router is ?

I don't know the answer to your question, but I can fill in some info to
your original post.

"HW:F1" tells me you have hardware revision F1 which would come after C1.
You're only interested in the hardware version since your question is
regarding the antenna. I believe the Dlink rep was correct and the only
concern is whether or not you have removable antennas.

"FW: 2.60.b2" indicates your firmware is revision 2.60.b2. This has no
effect on the antenna. Firmware is the program that runs the wireless
router.

Virtually all 802.11b/g antennas are 50 ohms, and all commercial 802.11b/g
antennas can handle more power than the legal limit. The only issue of
compatibility (among 802.11b/g antennas) is the connector and the
suitability to your application.
