Three 5G Hub

The Three 5G Hub is Three’s latest 5G home broadband router, and the only one currently available on the network.

This towering gadget has a lot going for it too, including theoretical top speeds of 3.8Gbps. On Three’s network you’ll be limited to a lower but still blazing-fast 1Gbps. But that means this device is future-proofed, so it will be able to make the most of any network upgrades, and 1Gbps is already far, far faster than most fibre broadband.

Average speeds are likely to be in the region of 100-200Mbps, depending on your location, but Three will provide you with an estimate during the checkout process. In any case, that too is incredibly fast compared to most conventional broadband.

The Three 5G Hub also has two Ethernet ports, so you can wire up two devices to it for an even better connection, and if you need a signal boost there are also two antenna ports.

The Three 5G Hub additionally supports Wi-Fi 6, and it can get up to 30 devices connected to the internet at once, which should be plenty for most homes. Plus, like other 5G home broadband devices there’s no need for a landline with this, and no need for an engineer to install it. You just plug and play (or browse, stream and download).
