MR86 Antenna Frequencies

[gcarmich]

Do all 4 of the MR86 antennas transmit all supported bands of the MR86? or are some dedicated to 2.4GHz and others to 5GHz?

Features

Dual–radio aggregate frame rate of up to 2.98 Gbps*
5 GHz 4x4:4 radio and 2.4 GHz 4x4:4 radio offer a combined dual–radio aggregate frame rate of 2.98 Gbps*, with up to 2,402 Mbps in the 5 GHz band and 574 Mbps in the 2.4 GHz band. Technologies like transmit beamforming and enhanced receive sensitivity allow the MR86 to support a higher client density than typical enterprise-class access points, resulting in better performance for more clients, from each AP.

For more details check the documentation.

I dont see documentation on frequencies per antenna port.

Refer the installation guide.

thank you!

From the installation guide:

"Both 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz client serving radios are diplexed onto each antenna port, so if using multiple antennas it is best practice to aim all in the same coverage area."
