I guess i'm a bit curious about this question.
The EX7000 is a 3x3:3 antenna for both 2.4ghz and 5ghz. I didn't see any internal antennas for the EX7000 on the FCC documents which means that each antenna has a 2.4ghz and 5ghz antenna in it. It also shows that each radio has a rp-sma connector which also implies thats the external antenna.
Each one can receive and transmit.
What's your goal here or why are you wondering this?
Thank you for your reply .
my goal is to have a antenna outside then the other inside to inprove my Rx & Tx from my router

You mean an antenna outdoors and one indoors using some type of antenna extension?
I'm honestly not sure how well this will work. I've never seen anyone try to split the antenna's so some are interior and some exterior. And not sure if it'll use the same antenna to retransmit with.
If there was a way to run ethernet to the extender, place it in AP mode, and then extend the extennal antennas ourdoors, it might work better.
sorry its been a while , what im after is to know what antenna does what ie:- does the top one tx/rx from the router , then the others are the repeat antenna/s?
