I wouldn't bother benparker, it's actually a slight downgrade with slower ethernet speeds, and 2 antenna sockets rather than 4.Is it worth getting the NR5103EV2 if I have the 5103E?
Seller said it's unlocked although it's 3 branded.

I was using a 3 sim on the NR5103E and kept getting daily disconnects whilst in passthrough mode, so now i have my Asus router in DMZ with a static IPInteresting - are you using it in IP passthrough mode or connected to WiFi directly?

I see you removed the bit about double natting - wouldn't it still happen in this configuration unless a static route was set up on the Zyxel?I was using a 3 sim on the NR5103E and kept getting daily disconnects whilst in passthrough mode, so now i have my Asus router in DMZ with a static IPand although i believe i may be double nattingmy connection has been rock solid, i have switched off everything on the Zyxel modem [DHCP/WIFI/FIREWALL] and the Asus is doing all the work.
I followed this video to the letter:
I am not very tech savvy, i assumed if i turned off the DHCP server on the Zyxel this would stop the double nat, if it is double natting i have not noticed any problems with speed etc, but have lost all the disconnects.I see you removed the bit about double natting - wouldn't it still happen in this configuration unless a static route was set up on the Zyxel?
Not better WiFi signals or better connection from mast? Not fussed about ethernet.I wouldn't bother benparker, it's actually a slight downgrade with slower ethernet speeds, and 2 antenna sockets rather than 4.
I doubt you would see any change in your speeds compared to the V1 router.
Up to you though.![]()

No idea how it's WiFi performs benparker, but the WiFi on the V1 is the strongest I've had on any router to date.Not better WiFi signals or better connection from mast? Not fussed about ethernet.
So I have just found out mine was connecting to b1 so I done a speed test on b1Internet came to a grinding halt yesterday evening whilst watching Eric on Netflix... Three is definitely making changes. I eventually realised that my router had locked onto a new n1 band from my mast which was very poor strength and yielded less than 1mpbs. To date the mast has only been transmitting on n78 for 5G. Normally I lock to Band B28 and n78, but had left the full 5G band list ticked. Problem resolved by going back to auto band selection for now, which seems to select n78 again.
That's definitely not true, I have hit over 800mbps in the early hours, for me it's more like 250-450 in more peak times but definitely seen 500-800 in less busy times, luckily I now get full bars on 5G after a lot of OCD router positioning lmao.I tested Three today from the upstairs window and on internal antenna obtained 631 and 573 mbps d/l. Signal 20
My husband is getting antenna 4x4 for the v1 of the model and hopes to improve on this. Will report back!
Three has said that 597 mbps is the maximum on the network. Our u/l is lower than the maximum 39 rather than 50.

So I have just found out mine was connecting to b1 so I done a speed test on b1
I then selected n78 and the difference is unbelievable. n78 has a much better speed, Also it was saying I have poor signal strength on b1 but excellent on n78 so why is the router trying to select the poorest selection
Did you ever have the v1? If so how does the V2 compare?I have been using the NR

I have the V2 though.

Better in what way exactly?I have a 5103EV1 and finding it on offer I also got a 5103ev2, connected to a pair of LowcostMobile RAD5G-ULTRA yagi antennas and in my condition, the v2 works better than the v1.
I don't use wifi, only data connection.
More speed.Better in what way exactly?
Better speeds from the mast?I'm more than happy with my V2. £105 on CEX.
How do i specifically lock onto a certain signal ID.So I have just found out mine was connecting to b1 so I done a speed test on b1
