Ahead of CES 2024, Acer today announced two new gaming routers: Predator Connect X7 5G CPE and Predator Connect T7 Wi-Fi 7 Mesh Router. This comes after the company’s recent unveiling of new 2024 AI laptops. These use Qualcomm Immersive Home Platform and tri-band Wi-Fi 7 for stable connections and enhanced wireless gameplay.
The Predator Connect X7 5G CPE stands out
as the first to combine 5G and Wi-Fi 7 tri-band BE11000 throughput, offering
3.5 Gbps over 5G and an extremely low latency of 1 ms, said the company. Acer
has introduced advanced Multi-Link Operation (MLO), Multi-Link Mesh
technologies, HYBRID QoS, and Dual Connectivity+ that offer a transition
between your primary 5G and a backup Ethernet network, to ensure that your
gaming and streaming are seamless, uninterrupted, and always ahead of the
curve.
Predator Connect T7 Wi-Fi 7 Mesh Router,
on the other hand, supports Wi-Fi 7 tri-band throughput, keeps up with the
combined throughput of BE11000, and can be effortlessly integrated with
multi-unit mesh systems, enhanced with High-Band Multi-Link Simultaneous for
reliable backhaul and better whole home coverage.
Other Features:
- Both include Network acceleration and are compatible with the Intel Killer Prioritization Engine.
- Wi-Fi 7’s features such as 320 MHz channel support, 4K QAM, and Multi-Link Operations improve the routers’ performance by enabling devices to simultaneously send and receive data across different frequency bands and channels.
- Compatible with Acer Predator Connect utility app. Users can monitor network signal strength through the Predator logo’s multi-color lighting indicator located at the top of the enclosure.
- Built-in Trend Micro Home Network Security engine for enhanced security.
The pricing and availability of these
latest routers will be announced at the time of launch. Do note that the exact
specifications, prices, and availability might vary by region.
