MIMO on the nighthawk M1

Does anyone know if there is a way to tell if the nighthawk M1 is making a MIMO connection? I have 2x external antenna connected , but so far I'm seeing identical connection as a single external antenna.

Here is the spec sheet of the device https://www.netgear.com/images/datasheet/mobile/MR1100.pdf

The device will only use two antenna sets at a time no there none of mu-mimo features like a big router this is a hot point.

The connection would be just like a standard entry router.

Hi William10a

 

sorry for the late response, and thank you for the answer. The actual antenna I was refering too were the the external antenna to connect to the mobile tower not the wifi antenna. The manual does say that the M1 supports 4x4 MIMO on the external antenna ports, I was just curious if there was any indication that it was using the feature. I have a MIMO external antenna on my roof now connected, and testing just one compared to the 2 does give me a 50% boost outside of the towers congested time, so I guess that is an indication or sorts
