Acer in collaboration with Qualcomm Technologies, have announced two new gaming routers that make use of the Qualcomm Immersive Home Platform and tri-band Wi-Fi 7.

These two new routers being the Predator Connect X7 5G CPE and the Predator Connect T7 Wi-Fi Mesh Router.

The Predator Connect X7 5G CPE offers fast internet speeds through 5G and Wi-Fi 7, along with dual WAN connectivity to minimise disruptions; while the Predator Connect T7 Wi-Fi Mesh Router features the multi-link Wi-Fi mesh system that makes wired-level latency possible in a mesh setup.

Powered by Qualcomm Technologies’ quad-core processor, both the X7 and T7 can provide users with accelerated online experiences, improved Spectrum Utilization with Wi-Fi 7, as well as enhanced MU-MIMO and OFDMA.

The Predator Connect X7 5G CPE combines 5G and Wi-Fi tri-band BE11000 and offers 3.5 Gbps over 5G, as well as a low latency of 1ms.

Meanwhile, the Predator Connect T7 Wi-Fi 7 Mesh Router, with support for Wi-Fi 7 tri-band throughput, keeps up with the combined throughput of BE11000 and can be integrated with multi-unit mesh systems, enhanced with High-band Multi-Link Simultaneous for reliable backhaul and better whole home coverage.

Predator’s newest gaming routers include network acceleration and are compatible with the Intel Killer Prioritization Engine, which provides advanced network data detection and optimal prioritisation of different games, apps, and websites.

The Wi-Fi 7 features 320 MHz channel support, 4K QAM, as well as Multi-Link Operations where users can employ multiple access points that work together to form a unified network.

The Acer Predator Connect utility app can allow users to monitor network signal strength, while the integrated Trend Micro Home Network Security engine can keep networked devices protected against potential attacks and help examine network traffic.
