It will allow all of your devices at home to get connected to the internet, including your laptops, tablets, phones, smart TVs, and other smart home devices.<\/p>\n<p>Rather than using a phone line or cable connection like traditional <a href=\"https:\/\/kenstechtips.com\/index.php\/home-broadband\">fibre broadband providers<\/a>, the 5G Hub uses a wireless 5G connection in the background. This 5G connection sits in-between the 5G Hub and Three&#8217;s 5G network. Meanwhile, all of your other devices will simply interface with the Hub using normal Wi-Fi (so there&#8217;s no need for your individual devices to support 5G connectivity).<\/p>\n<p>In theory, you&#8217;ll be able to get a maximum download speed of 4.7Gbps (4,700Mbps) on the 5G Hub NR5103E V2. In practice, however, the average speeds will be more like 100-200Mbps, with a peak download speed of 1Gbps (1,000Gbps). This is subject to both the coverage and capacity in your area.<\/p>\n<p>For comparison, standard fibre broadband services have an average download speed of about 67Mbps. It&#8217;s therefore possible to get faster download speeds on average using the 5G Hub. However, <a href=\"https:\/\/kenstechtips.com\/index.php\/full-fibre-broadband\">full fibre services<\/a> offer download speeds of up to 900Mbps so are likely to be faster than 5G broadband (but also more expensive).<\/p>\n<h2><span id=\"Three_5G_Hub_Plans\">Three 5G Hub Plans<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"p-2 alignright wp-image-27562\" src=\"https:\/\/kenstechtips.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/Three-Broadband-Laptop-250x150.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"200\" height=\"120\" srcset=\"https:\/\/kenstechtips.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/Three-Broadband-Laptop-250x150.png 250w, https:\/\/kenstechtips.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/Three-Broadband-Laptop-40x24.png 40w, https:\/\/kenstechtips.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/Three-Broadband-Laptop-100x60.png 100w, https:\/\/kenstechtips.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/Three-Broadband-Laptop-500x300.png 500w, https:\/\/kenstechtips.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/Three-Broadband-Laptop.png 740w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 200px) 100vw, 200px\" \/>As a special offer for April 2026, you can get the latest <a href=\"https:\/\/kenstechtips.com\/redir\/?go=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.three.co.uk%2Fbroadband%2Fhome-broadband\" rel=\"nofollow\" data-aff=\"Three Broadband\" data-ourl=\"https:\/\/www.three.co.uk\/broadband\/home-broadband\">5G Hub NR5103E V2<\/a> router on Three for a reduced price of only \u00a314 per month.

You also get a 30-day money back guarantee on this plan, allowing you to cancel within the first 30 days without penalty if you&#8217;re unhappy with the performance.<\/p>\n<p>If you&#8217;re looking for more flexibility, there&#8217;s also a 1-month rolling plan that&#8217;s available. With this, you&#8217;ll pay an increased price of \u00a328 per month for your broadband service. However, you&#8217;re able to cancel at any time with just one month&#8217;s notice. This makes it ideal for short-term broadband (e.g. if you&#8217;re renting temporarily, if you&#8217;re due to move soon, or if you&#8217;re living in a student household).<\/p>\n<h2><span id=\"Technical_Specifications\">Technical Specifications<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignright size-medium wp-image-37826\" src=\"https:\/\/kenstechtips.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/Three-5G-Hub-NR5103EV2-Ports-129x250.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"129\" height=\"250\" srcset=\"https:\/\/kenstechtips.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/Three-5G-Hub-NR5103EV2-Ports-129x250.jpg 129w, https:\/\/kenstechtips.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/Three-5G-Hub-NR5103EV2-Ports-21x40.jpg 21w, https:\/\/kenstechtips.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/Three-5G-Hub-NR5103EV2-Ports-51x100.jpg 51w, https:\/\/kenstechtips.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/Three-5G-Hub-NR5103EV2-Ports.jpg 250w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 129px) 100vw, 129px\" \/>Three&#8217;s <a href=\"https:\/\/kenstechtips.com\/redir\/?go=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.three.co.uk%2Fstore%2Fbroadband%2Fhome-broadband\" rel=\"nofollow\" data-aff=\"Three Broadband\" data-ourl=\"http:\/\/www.three.co.uk\/store\/broadband\/home-broadband\">5G Hub NR5103E V2<\/a> router works in a very similar way to other home broadband routers. The main distinction is that it uses a 5G mobile connection in the background, instead of using a fibre optic connection between your router and internet service provider (ISP).<\/p>\n<p>As far as it goes with day-to-day use, there&#8217;s no practical difference when you&#8217;re using your devices at home. The 5G Hub broadcasts a regular Wi-Fi network to your other devices and is compatible with all of your existing Wi-Fi devices. There&#8217;s no need for your individual devices to have support for 5G.<\/p>\n<p>In terms of mobile connectivity, the 5G Hub is powered by Mediatek&#8217;s T750 modem. In theory, it&#8217;s possible to get download speeds of up to 4.7Gbps (4,700Mbps) on this router. However, Three normally advertises an average download speed of 150Mbps, with a peak download speed of 1Gbps (1,000Mbps) on their 5G network of today. The good news is that the 5G Hub is future-proof, supporting both NSA and SA dual-mode 5G networks. For this reason, performance may increase in the future.<\/p>\n<p>For your home network connectivity, you get support for the latest Wi-Fi 6 technology (802.11a\/b\/g\/n\/ac\/ax). This will allow you to connect up to 64 devices wirelessly to your 5G Hub.
