EX6100 antenna purposes and positioning

Can someone tell me if the two antennas on the EX6100 are for specific purposes, such as 2.4 GHz vs 5 GHz, or device communication vs. router communication? It would help me to position the antennas as well as the device itself.

    They are for both of those things for receiving the signal from the router and broadcasting 2.4 and 5ghz wifi so I would try your best to position the extender at the edge of your routers wifi signal but so it still gets a good signal.
