Antenna for EE Huawei LTE Cube E5180

I've got an EE Huawei LTE Cube E5180 and need an antenna to improve the 4G signal (wifi is fine). Can someone recommend tell me what connectors I need (to connect the antenna to the two gold ports, labelled MAIN and DIV)?

@Peter-the-Shark It be clearly marked on the instructions on what cable goes to what plug on the router. Everything will come with the antenna.

Thanks Chris - I'm trying to figure out what antenna to buy, they look like TS9 connectors but I'm not sure.

@Peter-the-Shark What ever antenna you purchase it’ll have the same connection as it’s a standard.

Not all had Antenna Sockets fitted depending where the Router came from, if it does have them fitted and they are the very small ones, it will probably be CRC 9 type, TS 9 type look very similar but are a tad bigger on the Round Socket Barrel size.

Most 4/5G External Antennas come with SMA type Plugs then you just buy SMA Adapters or Flyleads to suit the to CRC9 or TS9
