About us

[kazb]

I have tried 2 different Zyxel 5G routers - the NR5101 and this 5103E. The 5101 was very bad - diffecult to get a decent 5g signal. Returned it. Last week the guy next door got this new NR5103E and the 5G signal was ok, but the wifi antennas were quiet poor. Told him to get a Huawei CPE pro 5. That works like a charm with a very strong wifi signal. Newer will I buy a Zyxel router again.

I have been using there 5g home for 2 years now, it’s powering 3 gaming pc plus 26 other devices, it’s been spot on, and no major issues, looking forward to getting this new hub

Considering the move to Three from Virgin, so appreciate you showing the whole process and various speed tests. Thank you. Subscribed for the quality video, too.

Hi thanks for the video pleased how long take to connect it because my the WiFi signal does not appear

[DigitalWealthEveryone]

yeah we also didnt receive any ethernet cable with ours. Speeds are terrible in our area gonna test some TS9 external antennas, they say we can achieve utp 4.7gbps download and 2gbps upload but im getting barely 15mbps download and 10mbps upload.

Been with Three 5G for 3 years now (quite pleased) Huawei CPE Pro to start with and the Zyxtel for the last 12 months, however - the Zyxtel is sat in its box and I still use the CPE Pro - the Zyxtel won’t connect to the Blink cameras - I’ve switched off IPV6 as Three recommended - still no camera connection - am I missing something / setting ? The speeds of the Zyxtel are far superior to the Huawei. I’d prefer to use the newer Zyxtel modem. Any help / ideas greatly appreciated :-)

Thank you for the video - will this 5G Three Router allow my standard PS4 to connect online?

[SimionAlexandru-hbxu]

Will I be able to have NAT type 1 or 2 with this router? I need it for ps5

[mrvolcada]

Hi, I purchased the NR5103ev2 along with a separate three sim card. It drops out 4 or 5 times a day along with "Limited" service. Any pointers to resolve this would be appreciated, many thanks

[imikez]

Im concerned that your ethernet speeds are so poor. I plan to connect this to my ps5 with ethernet, so the router and ps5 will be quite close to each other.

So are you saying its better to connect the ps5 via WiFi?

I'm a bit confused. So the Three 5g hub in not available in my area. If I buy the Zyxel NR5101 separately from Amazon, with a vodaphone 5g unlimited plan for example, would this work? Thanks. Currently using Three 4g hub and it's terrible for gaming

[leewalker]

Do you need to plug in to the landline?

[muhammadnaqiuddinmarzuki]

How to reset to default password back ? I forgot the login password for 192.1.1

[jordanottley]

How do you factory reset this . Ive got no wifi light and cant access it through the app

[yorkshirepudding]

Does it work on 4g too?

I was thinking of getting one, I'm in a 4g area but 200 yards up the road is 5g! I was thinking about getting this router rather than the 4g one, as they come on 24 month contracts
, maybe an antenna could help me connect to 5g

[Aditya_Kumar]

Is it okay for playing fps games ? Is there any packet loss ??

[ptrwg]

Awesome video. Quick question. Is it ok to let the router run 24/7 or should I turn it off when I go to bed?

[martinmillar]

I've just got a new hub, but there's no SIM card included in the box, can I use the SIM from my old hub, or do I need a new one?

[HamadAlShegifi]

whould you go throw the webUI of this router ? new video? it will be so informative for us, thank you
