Meraki MR84 with 2 different antena

[Brill]

Hello,
I'm designing wireless infrastructure using Meraki MR84 and have some questions.

can 2 different antenna in Meraki MR84 cover different areas?

for example, I install the MA-ANT-23 and MA-ANT-25. or should I set that 2 antenna to the same direction?

As they use different bands (2.4Ghz and 5Ghz) they can cover different areas.

Thanks for the answer.

But, if I install the same type of antenna (i.e. MA-ANT-23); should the point the same direction?
because I have read on some forum posts that the antenna needs to aim in the same coverage area.

and another question. for the mesh deployment, can I choose one particular antenna to become the repeater/backbone to the gateway (i.e.MA-ANT-25) and another antenna (MA-ANT-23) as a wireless broadcast for the client?

If they are in the same band (both using 5Ghz) then they need to point in the same area.
