WI-FI ANTENNAS AP-514: Four RP-SMA connectors for external dual band antennas (A0 through A3, corresponding with radio chains 0 through 3). Worst-case internal loss between radio interface and external antenna connectors (due to diplexing circuitry): 1.3dB in 2.4GHz and 1.7dB in 5GHz. AP-515: Four integrated dual-band downtilt omni-directional antennas for 4×4 MIMO with peak antenna gain of 4.2dBi in 2.4GHz and 7.5dBi in 5GHz. Built-in antennas are optimized for horizontal ceiling mounted orientation of the AP. The downtilt angle for maximum gain is roughly 30 degrees. Combining the patterns of each of the antennas of the MIMO radios, the peak gain of the effective per-antenna pattern is 3.8dBi in 2.4GHz and 4.6dBi in 5GHz
