How to connect external antenna to AirCard 800s

Im using an AirCard 800S on a boat with an Omni directional marine antenna and was wondering which TS9 port I should be connecting to?

 

The AirCard has two ports for a MIMO antenna however the marine antenna I have is just a single connection. The port on the right is labeled "primary" according to the manual and the port on the left hand side of the device is labeled "secondary".

Hi @Speedtriple

 

Welcome to NETGEAR Community!

 

To connect an external antenna to the NETGEAR AirCard USB modem/mobile hotspot, an antenna with a single or dual SMK TS-9 male connectors (or antenna with a single or dual SMK TS-9 male adapters) is required.

Thanks Bianca, if I have an antenna with a single TS-9 connector what port do I plug into? The Aircard has two to choose from.
