Acer 5G Router Predator Connect X5 5G CPE
Question about Acer 5G Router Predator Connect X5 5G CPE
Can I set up a mesh system with it? I need a Wi-Fi connection throughout the house and don't know how else to do it?
Of course, the mesh system does not have to be from Acer. The Acer 5G router can be used with any WiFi mesh system, e.g. with the Xiaomi AX3000 system, it is very inexpensive and can be expanded with up to 10 devices. Each Xiaomi mesh router has an integrated 3 port Gbit switch. To use the whole system, a mesh router is connected directly to the Acer router, its WLAN is switched off (it doesn't need it anymore) and the mesh system takes over all network traffic. The Xiaomi AX3000 solution is able to manage up to 256 devices.

Of course, any other mesh system will do, but they are usually much more expensive.
Yes, of course it works! That's what the thing is designed for. You get a WLAN 2.4 GHZ and a 5 GHZ hotspot. You can also connect an external LAN router via cable.
