Acer introduced two new gaming routers that take advantage of the Qualcomm Immersive Home Platform and tri-band Wi-Fi 7 for more stable connections and enhanced wireless gameplay. The Predator Connect X7 5G CPE provides lightning-fast internet speeds via 5G and Wi-Fi 7, as well as dual WAN connectivity to reduce disruptions. The Predator Connect T7 Wi-Fi 7 Mesh Router provides fast, dependable, and extensive network coverage thanks to the expandability of its multi-link Wi-Fi mesh architecture, which allows for wired-level latency in a mesh arrangement.

 

Powered by Qualcomm Technologies' advanced quad-core processor, the X7 and T7 provide gamers and streamers with accelerated online experiences, improved Spectrum Utilization with Wi-Fi 7, as well as enhanced MU-MIMO and OFDMA across connected devices, as per Acer.
