Hi Fkofilee, the EE router variant (NR5103) doesn't support band locking which is very handy to have.

The 'E' variant is the three network branded router, but it is unlocked for use on any network. I have 4 of them for use on all 4 mobile networks.

The above graphics are only a rough guide and not set in stone.
(NR5103 does supports band 20 & 32)
 
Ta for that - Checking CEX they have 5103E available compared with the NR5103. They say they are unlocked which I assume is they are from 3 but just no lock on them?

Check with CEX that the NR5103 isn't the EE branded router, I really wouldn't recommend it over the three (E) router Fkofilee. (I have both)

Non EE or three NR5103 Zyxel routers aren't generally available, so check with CEX first if you intend to buy the non E variant.
 
Thanks for confirming - I have checked on the Zxyel website and the NR5103E doesnt have WIFI6 EEEEEEK!

What options would be missing from a NR5103E as I would imagine its Carrier branded firmware in some capacity?
 
Bought one... Faff in CEX Bracknell though.
It was the wrong model and as such wrong price.
Eventually convinced them that it was incorrect and they adjusted the price. Also allowed me to demo the device with a Vodafone SIM to prove its not blocked / It's unlocked etc...

Voila! ❤️ Although not a fan of the 3 branding on the device.... 😂 Would love to ditch it somehow

Just print out a wee coverer upper sticker like yours truly did.

Zyxel logo if that's what you want, what you really really want. 😊

That's brilliant! ❤️
I also love you have 4 of them! But then how do you have them all connected at once into a network?...

They are all used just via WiFi Fkofilee, I don't need them networked.

o2 is not working on this router is not unlocked or faulty
Have you checked the APN is correct skarp?
Sometimes you need to add APN's manually to get a connection.

Once you log in to the router Web UI, go to the hamburger menu top right / Network Setting / Broadband / Cellular APN

That should take you to the APN section as shown above.

Just use the Modify icon to edit the APN or just add another with the correct O2 APN details.

Hope that helps a little. :)
