[jmecklenburg]

Hi team

I have some IW3702 with 4 antennas AIR-ANT2547V-N and working fine and the installation it's very simple use port 1,2,3 and 4. Now I need upgrade this access point for IW9167EH and I have quetions about the intefaces radios and antenna instaltion, I want use the same 4 antenas AIR-ANT2547V-N for radios 2.4Ghz and 5Ghz.

My first thought is use the port 1,2,3,4 but in the instalation guide we have this note

So I don't know which port to use for use the same antenas whitout a adicional cable o mount for the antennas

Regards.

Any idea? I don't know if in the notes is port 1 - 4 and 5 - 8 it's a range or it's only this port.

Regards.

if you use antenna ports 1,2,3,4 for 5GHz, you cannot use ports 5,6,7,8 for 5GHz also. It will create RF interference being that close on independent radio chips.

Ports 1 - 4 (meaning ports 1, 2, 3 & 4) are for dual band (2.4 and 5 GHz) antennas
Ports 5 - 8 (meaning ports 5, 6, 7 &  are for 5 GHz antennas only

So you can use AIR-ANT2547V-N on ports 1-4.
