Wi-Fi Antennas
- AP-344: External antenna models. Two sets of four RP-SMA antenna connectors:
- Primary: A0 - A3, connected to chains 0 through 3 respectively on each associated radio
- With AP in dual-radio mode: dual-band interfaces, diplexing signals to/from radio 0 (full 5 GHz) and radio 1 (2.4 GHz)
- With AP in dual-5 GHz mode: 5 GHz interfaces from radio 0 (upper 5 GHz)
- Secondary: B0 - B3, connected to chains 0 through 3 respectively
- With AP in dual-radio mode: not used
- With AP in dual-5 GHz mode: 5 GHz interfaces from radio 1 (lower 5 GHz)
- Total internal losses between radio and external connectors:
