Zyxel NR5103 5G NR Indoor Router
A high-speed 5G Router offered by EE for home and office use.
Description
The Zyxel NR5103 is a high-speed 5G Router that is currently being offered by EE as their rebadged home and office 5G router. It provides high-speed 5G Internet using the embedded 5GF modem, along with high-speed LAN and WiFi. A key advantage of the Zyxel NR5103 router is its four external antenna adapters (TS9), which allow for the easy addition of an outdoor or directional 5G Antenna to improve 5G signal reception. This is particularly useful when the router is located indoors with a poor signal, but a better outdoor signal is available. A High Gain Outdoor 5G Antenna can be installed, and the cables run to the router. The four TS9 connectors on the rear of the router also support 4x4 MIMO 5G antennas, offering users more flexibility in choosing external antennas. Note that the Zyxel NR5103 5G router still uses TS9 connectors, so many external antennas will require TS9 to SMA adapters.
Lightning-fast internet connectivity
The Zyxel NR5103 supports 5G NR DL speeds of up to 4.67 Gbps* and 4G LTE DL speeds of up to 1.6 Gbps*. Its wide-spectrum bandwidth accelerates internet speed and reduces network latency, making it ideal for premium and time-sensitive mobile broadband services.
WiFi 6 (11ax) technology
Compliant with the latest WiFi 6 (802.11ax) standard, the Zyxel NR5103 offers speeds of up to 3.6 Gbps with 4x4 UL/DL MU-MIMO. With uplink MU-MIMO, Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiple Access (OFDMA), and beamforming technologies, the NR5103 delivers premium speed for multi-streaming data access. Combined with WiFi 6 and EasyMesh R2 certification, the NR5103 empowers service providers to deliver an optimal WiFi experience without dead zones.
Strengthen your competitive edge with Fixed Wireless Access (FWA)
Deploying the NR5103 as part of FWA allows for the extension of 4G/5G service coverage into subscribers’ homes and workplaces without requiring extra wire infrastructure. This approach secures Total Cost of Ownership (TCO) and increases business revenue by supporting a larger number of subscribers with a premium fixed-grade connection.
SA/NSA dual-mode compliant
The Standalone (SA) and Non-Standalone (NSA) compliant architecture of the NR5103 enhances operational efficiency during 5G migration, accelerating 5G service rollouts.
Remote management and upgrade
Through the 4G/5G radio interface, the NR5103 supports TR-069 and remote GUI for full configurability. Firmware Over-The-Air (FOTA) support enables remote firmware upgrades and troubleshooting through events triggered by operators.
Easy network setup and management with Zyxel Air
The NR5103 includes a subscriber app called Zyxel Air. The intuitive user interface of Zyxel Air provides customers with necessary assistance, from device setup to routine management, minimizing service calls while enhancing user satisfaction.
Alternatives to the Zyxel NR5103
For users needing a 5G router for home or business, the Zyxel NR5101 router is a suitable alternative. For industrial 5G router needs, consider the Teltonika RUTX50, Proroute H685, or RAPID NR550 routers, which offer high specifications for M2M / IoT remote management and monitoring.
