Three-5g-hub-zyxel-nr5103e, is it available for purchase?

[HyperViz0r98]

Hi , I am trying my best to find this router as it has the network modem I need (Mediatek T750) and I can't purchase it via three uk outright in the store because apparently I HAVE to have a contract to get it. I don't understand why I can't walk in and buy it outright.  I see there's a placeholder on three ie site here : https://www.three.ie/shop/broadband/broadband-devices/three-5g-hub-zyxel-nr5103e.html 

Is it possible to purchase the router outright in the store without a contract? Or order it online?

Hi  @HyperViz0r98, the devices team has come back to me and they have confirmed that the device you're interested in the Three-5g-hub-zyxel-nr5103e not due to be released till early next year. As of now, the device is only going to be available on contract.

Thanks for that, shame it's not coming out for a while.

Is there any more of an update on when these new 5G routers will be released now that we're in early 2023?

@HyperViz0r98 I know this is not what you were hoping for but I've just received an update from our devices team, they've just confirmed that this specific device is due to be released shortly for Business contracts only.
