New Three 5G Hub (NR5103E)

I've seen the zyxel nr5103E on ebay...whats a good price to pay for one of these?
They're around £110-£130 at CEX Kingpin, if that's a guide for you. 2 year warranty at CEX too. :)
 
5 Years now, as of today.
What’s the fine print? Previously if it was over 6 moths you only got a % of the original cost back if they don’t have one in stock.
 
@smithbill17 (mostly because of SNMP, but also overall) and TWIMC, food for thought.

The Three NR5103E is indeed a bit crippled. However, some (most?) of the cripple is purely cosmetic.

If you open dev console in Firefox or Chrome, go to app.js, pretty-format it, you need two break points and a bit of interaction to un-cripple everything that is possible.

Find substring "cgi-bin/MenuList" in app.js and create break point at "n=t.MenuList.length".

Also, find substring "Vl.a.commit("updateGuiFlag",e)" and create break point at it.

Refresh page.

On the first break point, execute "t.MenuList = window.webpackJsonp([], null, ["HIEM"])" in dev console. It returns full menu list without anything removed. (Identifier "HIEM" might be different for your router - to get the proper identifier, search for substring "t.exports=[" in app.js).

On the second break point, execute "for (const k of Object.keys(e)) if (/^hide/i.test(k)) e[k] = false; else if (/^((show(?!EasyMeshLabel|showMeshLabel))|((EnhanceWiFi_iwpriv|LantoWan|MGMT_WIFI|SupportRememberPassword)$))/i.test(k)) e[k] = true;" in dev console. It sets everything hidden unhidden, and everything unshown shown.

After that, simply traverse new menu items to see what's available (including SNMP @smithbill17).

It's a hassle, and you have to do it every refresh. That being said, usually most of the things are set up once and forget, so it's a hassle once.

Moreover, I hope some JS developer can automate it using some bookmarked JS code.

Lastly, using the unhidden features allows looking which API calls are made when you use some function and script it without using ZyXEL GUI going forward.

P. S. I haven't checked whether all the unhidden functionality works. E. g. Mesh and EasyMesh seem to be not-implemented.

Wonder if anyone can help, have this router and a three data sim, as of late certain things won’t download and I can’t access my works sharepoint etc. It seems like some sort of block or barrier is causing it. Anyone have any ideas or the same experience?

Thanks
 
When using dual stack (IPv4/IPv6, "3internet" apn) I have problems with Torguard VPN on my laptop which I fixed by setting the Torguard MTU to a low 1300.

Which apn are you using 3internet or three.co.uk?

Hi. Thanks for the reply

The router is currently set on 3Internet for the APN on auto mode
 
Most likely the clever folks here already knew this, but I've only just discovered how to schedule a weekly reboot of my Three crippled NR5103ev2:

1. Login to the web interface & go to Maintenance > Remote Management and switch on SSH for LAN (default port 22)
2. Use an SSH client (eg. JuiceSSH) to connect to the routers IP address & login with your admin password
3. At the command line type:

zycli sch_reboot setp 12 30 1

where 12 30 = 12.30pm & 1=Mon, 2=Tue, 3=Wed etc

4. exit to close the SSH client app & log back into the router web interface and switch off SSH access (assuming you don't want to keep it on)

Alternatively use a smart plug.
 
Hi all.
I have now bought the Scancom 500GB SIM untli Feb 2027. I do understand that I cannot see how much I have used and how much I have left.

Obviously the NR5103E has a system monitor but it seems to be woefully out. Does it reset when you re-boot or something like that?

Does anyone else have a solution so I can set a counter and work out how much I have left. I have a feeling that it will just run out and stop working so it would be good to know when I'm getting close.
Just to answer my own question in case anyone else wants to track their usage to see how much they've got left.

I use a OpenWRT router and found a command called VNSTAT which does exactly what I wanted. It constantly monitors the WAN port and advises daily and monthly usage. It's very useful.
