EE 5G Router (Zyxel 5103) Busted!

Do you know what bands your getting connection from before investing heavily??

EE may be serving 5G using a lower band than n78 and adding external antennas may not mean for faster speeds.
Band is b3+b3. But is the funny is, if i set signal to 4g only, my internet speed is going up to 180mbit/s. The signal is full in 5g and 4g aswell. In the ee shot they said my area avarage internet speed is 400mbit/s
So the problem is the ee?

It should show an N band when connected to 5G
Is the same b3 but
Yesterday i spoke with one ee agent on live chat and they change for me my plan.
At the momment my plan is essential data sim with our best speeds- no max Mbit and they change the next month to All rounder plan witch is no limit there. So i wait 1 month and maybe if they change the plan after my router connect to the higher 5g antenna.

2 days ago i bought a original zyxel nr5103 because the ee version is locked so i cant use the zyxel air app. I hope i have more setting and option with the original one.

Out of interest where did you buy the Unbadged and Network Free NR5103 from?, my understanding is the 5301 and 5301E are only available in the UK with SP Firmware.

So i buy a tree version now but its better than ee version. You have more settings in the menu
 
There is one on eBay just now which looks like it is unbranded.
Starts at £220. BIN at £308
 
So guys i tested the two zyxel nr5103e router 1 day and the three version is absolute better.
The ee version is very locked the setting mod you in the webbrowser you cant change any bands just only choose what frequency you want to use 4g or 5g . For me in my are with the ee zyxel maximum download speed on 5g is not stabile some times 100mbit but usually 60mbit/s but if i change the frequency only 4g i can earn 150mbit/s stabile internet speed. In B3 band
So the three version i dont know why but but is better with 5g 100mbit/s but the 4g now stabile 280mbit/s. And the router using b3,b3,b7,b7 band. So today i send band to the amazon the ee version and i keep it the three one.
The firmware is V1.00(ACBJ.0)b14

this is my experience and sorry if I wrote something wrong, I'm still a new in the mobile router world.
