Which Antenna ports serve which bands on GT-AC5300

[FJRider]

Guys I have a GT-AC5300 and I have been trying to use the smart connect but am fighting a problem that part of the house has a very low signal. I may just have a bad 2.4 gig radio as my 3200 has great signal. I am trying to use the smart connect as my 77 year old father in law and 74 year old mother in law are on it and are both from Vietnam so I need to router to do the work. My question is does anyone know of a way to find out which of the 8 antennas are used for the 2.4 Gig band. If I can find that out then I can put a couple of high gain antennas in the right place and should have good coverage in the whole house.

*Edit* just noticed that Tim covers this at the bottom of the first page of his GT-AC5300 review.

The Test Report document filed with the FCC has the following diagram which appears to show that the four antennas in the front are dual-band while the four closest to the rear are 5GHz only.

I believe that this is supported by the fact that internal photos with the heatsinks and cans removed show eight sets of front-ends co-mingled towards the front then another set of four in the back. I don't think that both groups of 5GHz front-ends would be placed together.
