“We’re thrilled to introduce our latest Predator routers with 5G and Wi-Fi 7 capabilities, allowing gamers to elevate their gaming experience,” said Wayne Ma, General Manager of Connectivity at Acer Inc. “With Qualcomm’s Immersive Home Platform and advanced processors, these new Predator routers offer unparalleled performance and speed for diverse gaming environments and players.”

Rahul Patel, Senior Vice President at Qualcomm Technologies, Inc., commented, “We’re delighted to work with Acer to bring a comprehensive range of cutting-edge connectivity solutions, including 5G, Wi-Fi 7, and Mesh Networking. These technologies are crucial for modern gaming and will provide users with immersive and responsive gaming experiences.”

Predator Connect Routers: Unleashing Next-Gen Internet Speeds with Wi-Fi 7

With the launch of Wi-Fi 7 Predator routers, Acer has significantly advanced in the gaming router market. These routers, powered by Qualcomm Technologies’ wireless innovations, offer doubled speed compared to Wi-Fi 6. They also enhance Wi-Fi gaming with significantly reduced latency, improved interference management, and consistent performance across devices.

The Predator Connect X7 5G CPE is a notable innovation, being the first to integrate 5G and Wi-Fi 7 tri-band BE11000 throughput. It boasts 3.5 Gbps speeds over 5G and a remarkably low 1 ms latency. Its dual connectivity with 5G and ethernet includes load balancing and failover features, enhancing mesh network reliability. The Predator Connect T7 Wi-Fi 7 Mesh Router supports Wi-Fi 7 tri-band throughput and easily integrates into multi-unit mesh systems, offering reliable coverage throughout the home.

Intelligent Software Compatibility for Best-in-class Experiences

These routers feature network acceleration and are compatible with the Intel Killer Prioritization Engine, ensuring optimal prioritization for games, apps, and websites. Wi-Fi 7’s advancements like 320 MHz channel support and 4K QAM enhance router performance. Multi-Link Mesh technology allows for multiple access points to form a unified, efficient network.

Users can control these routers through the Acer Predator Connect app and monitor network strength via the multi-color lighting indicator on the Predator logo. Additionally, integrated Trend Micro Home Network Security ensures protection against potential cyber threats.
