Usually you need to make sure the interface type and frequency range are matched.

The interface type of original antennas is SMA male, you could double check the description of the antenna to see if it is also SMA male. And the frequency supported by MR100 are as below which seems to match with the antenna.

It seems the MR105 uses internal antennas by default, for the external antennas to work instead of the router’s internal antennas, you need to enable external antennas on the web page.

You mean no signal at all or signal is the same as that when using internal antennas?

Also make sure the supported LTE frequency range matches the MR105.

  @QRene there's some frequency that's same but some are no so will it still work?

  @Tadayoshi  If your ISP only use the frequencies that the antenna supports, that should be fine, or it might cause issues in other frequency bands.
