Acer bolstered its home networking offerings with the introduction of two new routers catering to diverse user needs. The Acer Wave 7 is a Wi-Fi 7 mesh router ideal for families and remote workers demanding broad, reliable coverage for numerous devices across large spaces. The Predator Connect W6x prioritizes speed and performance, boasting Wi-Fi 6 technology to deliver a lag-free gaming experience.
Wave 7: The Future of Home Wi-Fi
The Wave 7 boasts the latest Wi-Fi 7 standard, capable of reaching blistering speeds of up to 6400 Mbps. This translates to exceptional reliability and minimal latency, perfect for users who rely on consistent, high-bandwidth connections for work, streaming, and online gaming.
The latest mesh router from Acer offers two configuration options: a 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz combination or a 2.4 GHz and 6 GHz combination, allowing users to tailor their network for optimal performance based on their specific needs.
This innovative mesh system utilizes 320 MHz channel support and cutting-edge Multi-Link Operation (MLO) technology. MLO allows devices to transmit and receive data simultaneously across different frequencies, significantly boosting throughput, minimizing latency, and reducing interference. This ensures a smooth and uninterrupted connection for all your devices, even in homes with many users and devices.
Scalable Coverage for Large Homes
The Wave 7 functions as a mesh system, meaning you can add additional access points to extend coverage throughout your entire home, eliminating dead zones. This makes it ideal for large houses or multi-story dwellings where traditional routers struggle to provide consistent signal strength.
For added convenience, the Wave 7 features three Gigabit Ethernet ports with switchable WAN/LAN capability, offering flexible network configuration options. Built-in Wi-Fi Protected Access (WPA) security safeguards your network and connected devices from potential threats.
Predator Connect W6x: Unleash Your Gaming Potential
Designed with gamers in mind, the Predator Connect W6x prioritizes speed and stability for uninterrupted gameplay. This router boasts Wi-Fi 6 support, delivering speeds up to a staggering 6000 Mbps.
Equipped with a powerful quad-core processor, 1 GB of DDR4 RAM, and 256 MB of ROM, the Predator Connect W6x prioritizes near-zero packet loss, ensuring smooth online gaming experiences. In addition, a convenient LED light indicator on the cover displays the network connection status for a quick visual cue.
Gamers can take control of their network remotely with the Predator Connect utility app, available for download on smartphones and tablets starting in July. The Predator Connect W6x also offers a generous selection of ports, including four Gigabit Ethernet ports for wired LAN connectivity and a single, high-speed 2.5 Gigabit Ethernet port for WAN connectivity.
