Nr7103: Zyxel

In the world of 5G routers, there is a clear divide: indoor consumer “pucks” and industrial outdoor units. The Zyxel NR7103 falls decisively into the latter category, but with a twist. It is a 5G NR Outdoor Router designed to bolt onto the side of a house or a utility pole, bringing 5G directly to where the signal lives—outside the building.

– Deducted only for requiring extra gear, but unbeatable in its class for signal acquisition.
