Hi, guys! Could anyone please clarify if modern dual band routers, which are described to work simultaneously on 2.4 ghz and 5 ghz networks, would have maximum advertised speed on each band when there are clients on both bands? (I understand that max speed is not achievable due to many other reasons)
What I am concerned about is that routers like Asus AC-88U have 4 antennas. These antennas are dual band. I thought that 1 antenna is required for each spatial stream. If 5 ghz network is active and 2.4 ghz client appears, would router dedicate one or two antenna for 2.4 ghz and the rest for 5 ghz or they would all work on both bands simultaneously without any drawbacks?
What is the reason for routers like tp-link archer c7 to design separate internal 2.4 ghz antennas then?
