These new routers, monitors, and laptops aim to provide you with the highest quality and lowest lag gaming experiences.

Acer has revealed a whole bunch of new gear focused on gaming ahead of CES this week, including what it calls the World's First 5G Wi-Fi 7 gaming router. The Predator Connect X7 5G CPE uses Qualcomm tech to promise super low network latencies of as low as 1 ms. That means gamers can focus on skill and not have to worry about lag when they're lining up the perfect shot.

The company also unveiled a new mesh router, the Predator Connect T7 Wi-Fi 7 mesh router that also uses Qualcomm chips with multi-link mesh technology. Both routers come with special quality of service software (QoS) to make sure the connections stay strong and can work together with Multi-Link abilities to increase bandwidth and throughput while enhancing network reliability.
