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.

"We are excited to announce the latest Predator routers with 5G and Wi-Fi 7 connectivity options, empowering gamers to take their gameplay to new heights," said Wayne Ma, General Manager, Connectivity, Acer Inc. "Thanks to Qualcomm's Immersive Home Platform and quad-core processors, the new Predator routers bring next-level performance and speed output to a wider range of players and gaming environments."

"Qualcomm Technologies is pleased to collaborate with Acer, bringing a full suite of advanced connectivity technologies to bear spanning 5G, Wi-Fi 7 and Mesh Networking," said Rahul Patel, Senior Vice President and General Manager, Connectivity Broadband and Networking, Qualcomm Technologies, Inc. "Together, these are essential technologies for next-gen gaming and will thrill users with their immersive and responsive gaming experiences."

With the debut of the new Wi-Fi 7 Predator routers, Acer's gaming routers take a significant leap ahead. These routers can double the speed output compared to Wi-Fi 6, while adding flexibility for Wi-Fi gamers and enhancing performance with Wi-Fi 7's significantly reduced latency, better interference management, high bandwidth, and consistent performance for connected devices.
