A. You cannot use two antennas on an AP in order to cover two radio cells. Attempts to use the antennas to cover two radio cells can result in connectivity problems. The purpose of the two antennas is to enhance the coverage of a cell in an effort to overcome issues that arise with multipath distortion and signal nulls. Refer to Multipath and Diversity for more information on diversity and multipath distortions.
