I need the antenna port size on the board Nighthawk M1(mr1100)US model to attach 4 externals

Hello, 
I would like to know the type of connectors to the numbered(1-4) antennas on the board of the device. I am attaching external antennae and need this size. I have several u.fl but they are larger.

The antenna ports are proprietary and Netgear technical support won't tell you. Some Russians have indicated that the connectors are Hirose MS156, but they are a little bigger and won't fit stable, so you would have to press the pin down inside the socket and glue them to the board, like the Telstra lab testers did:

Yeah I saw that and tried those, they definitely are not snug. I have the case removed so I am kind of looking for another option. Thanks.
