Netgear ORBI LBR20 2x2 MIMO OMNI antenna

I have a Netgear ORBI LBR20 router with 2 pcs. 4G UHF OMNI antennas distributed on both sides of the mast almost at the top, on a larger ship. I am considering buying a 2x2 MIMO OMNI antenna and placing on one side of the mast instead, as the router supports MIMO antenna technology.

Anyone who has experience with MIMO antennas and can say something good/bad about them?

When I go into the webinterfaced of my Netgear router, I can see in the Connection Status which LTE band it is on, and since the MIMO technology supports several simultaneous bands, would you be able to see there that it is on several LTE bands?

I would only use an antenna if you are having bad reception from a cell tower. I tried using external on my M6, but did not see any difference because my signal was acceptable.

No, I don't think Netgear has that ability to aggregated bands
