It’s also possible this router was supplied by Three to someone else and has been sold on to the OP.

So why would the router need to be unlocked by Three if it was not supplied by them..?

Because simply for being 5g not 4g as they told me they locked it. The proof of concept being that I quite clearly saw the option to enter an unlock code on one day, then more recently with no input from me I have zero attempts left

I am not sure but would guess the router was produced to be compatible with 3, and possibly the manufacturer either doesn't have an agreement with o2, or prefers to sell them separately for each network.  Iirc unlocking a device requires collaboration between network and manufacturer, maybe they don't talk anymore?

No obvios '3' branding on the router

No obvious '3' branding to associate the router with them
