I was wondering how to best position the 4 antennas on my Archer X20 (AX1800) for the best coverage in my home. I have a two story home. Due to how the cabling enters the house, the router must be placed near the middle of the house on the upstairs level.  Unfortunately, main computer and TV are on the floor level.  Not sure if two antennas should be pointed vertically and two horizontally.  If so, which two since I have no idea what band each antenna serve.  Currently I have the center antennas vertical and the outter two antennas angled away from the router at about 45 degrees.

All the antennas are dual-band so you can put the outer ones vertical and the inner ones horizontal.

Also note that moving the router, turning it, raising/lower, also have an affect on the WIFI signal. I moved my router 3 to 4 feet and it made a big difference. If the modem is next to it, try swapping sides. Also using specific channels and width can make a difference.
