Dedicated Antennas ?
I have two RAX 49 (AX5300) units which I plan to network with wireless bridge mode. My question is about the four antennas. From my topical research, I've found that some routers (certain TrendNet models for example), have all the antennas serving as dual-band radio-sending units; whilst other routers have each individual antenna dedicated solely to the 2.4ghz OR the 5ghz band. Is there a site to look at a technical schematic of the Router?
A 2.4 GHz connection travels farther at lower speeds, while 5 GHz frequencies provide faster speeds at shorter range.

- microchip8MasterAll NG routers come with high gain dual-band antenna's. There is very little advantage in separating antenna's for 2.4 and 5 GHz.
