You know..I think you probably hit the nail on the head.the nr5103 is a fantastic bit of kit...and so much potential for features but stripped back by the mobile operators....Thanks for your input on this
I've got a sneaky suspension on this that Zyxel may have, in certain Regions, committed the NR5103 as a Service Provider Only Device, this could explain why Zyxels own Firmware Version is only available in certain Areas and not others, I also remember when the Nr5103 first came out with EE (Badged 5GEE 2021) and I tried to do some digging on the Info of the Device (mainly on the 4 Antenna Ports) and got absolutely nowhere with Zyxel, just got told to refer back to the Network Supplier of where the Device came from, likewise the original Webpage for the Device just referred to "Service Providers".
So, could be, the FWA510 is just a rebadge, maybe with some differences or add-ons to the original Device, which enables Zyxel to move forward with the Device and maybe a work around as not to infringe on any 5103 agreements that could be in place with current Network Operators or Service Providers?
As we know..cell locking is a feature on the nr5103 in certain countries..so just shows how held back good features are.
Zyxel say they have put the nr5101 end of life..which has cell lock..and focusing on the fwa510....a new product what looks..identical to the nr5103
So I belive they will invest heavy in the development of this new unit..and bring all those nice features we have all craved..from the nr5103
But sadly at a eye-watering price
I will be sure to update this post with firmware additions
