so I just got a ac68u with 1 broken antenna
looking at the pcb I found online, I assume 1 antenna for the 2.4GHz band and 2 antennae for the 5GHZ band...
Can I get away by using only 2.4GHz wifi by connecting just 1 antenna to the right(circled in red)
or connecting just the left 2 antenna and use just the 5GHZ wifi?

So the router won't function with just 2 antenna? Not even 60% of the wifi function?
Based on ac66u, I assume 1 antenna for the 2.4GHz band and 2 antennae for the 5GHZ band...
can't I just have the 5ghz or the 2.4gh disabled?
Hi! I have ac68u rev 1. One of my antennae broke off 5mm above where it attaches to the router. If I press it together, it makes contact and works.
My network works almost as well with only 2 antennae. Just tested with and without. 350 vs 280Mbit on my 2 antennae phone.
