Acer router prioritises fast gaming

The Predator Connect W6x dynamically allocates bandwidth to online gaming, supporting speeds of up to 6,000 Mbps.

The Acer Predator Connect W6x, a Wi-Fi 6 gaming router, analyses network traffic and prioritises gaming data to ensure consistent bandwidth for gameplay. This intelligent system is supported by the Hybrid Quality of Service (QoS) software, which is compatible with the Intel Killer Prioritisation Engine.

For example, in scenarios where network congestion occurs – such as during simultaneous 4K streaming – the Hybrid QoS feature prioritises gaming traffic to minimise lag and maintain a stable connection.

The Predator Connect W6x delivers speeds of up to 6,000 Mbps with low latency, making it suitable for demanding online environments. It supports Mesh functionality, allowing it to work with other Predator router models or itself to extend coverage and address dead spots in larger spaces.

The router features a quad-core 2.0 Ghz ARM Cortex processor with 1BG RAM and 256 MB of storage.
