Nighthawk M1 external antenna connectors

Hi folks I am having problems with my M1 regarding external antenna signal strength - like no improvement! The tech lined the antenna up with the tower on the highest point on my roof but no result!...

    The problem isn't on that antenna but the antenna port on M1, these two ports only designed for low bands (such as B1/3/8/28..,etc.), unfortunately your environment seems preferred on B7 and that two TS-9 port does not help on B7. There are 4 antennas inside M1, designed for different bands.

Can you check on what is the Current Radio Band? TS-9 port does not support high bands

Sorry for my ignorance but where will I find that info? Under diagnostics? What am I looking for?
