TUF AX4200 radio/antenna info

[jmt]

Hello, newbie question from a new owner of a TUF AX4200. Getting quite amazing 5GHz coverage all over my 3-story wooden home
2,4GHz coverage is somewhat lower than expected and I would like to fine tune the angles of my antennas to improve the situation if possible (using Android wifi analyzer, channel selection is taken care of, I am very happy to live in a non-congested area).

Have been looking for info about the radios/antennas, but have not been able to find any info regarding the radios sharing all four antennas or not, anyone here in the knowing?

-Regards from Norway

Did some antenna angle tweaking on the assumption that all 4 are used by both the 2,4GHz and 5GHz bands. Top notch coverage in entire house now, extremely satisfied. What a great router!

This router is built around MediaTek MT7986AV CPU and MT7976DA radios in 2x2 2.4GHz and 3x3 5GHz configuration.

You'll be perhaps happy to know this hardware has active OpenWrt development as 3rd party open-source firmware option.

Thanks! The open-source firmware option is very interesting
