Acer Connect X6e router reviewed
This product came out last year, but still might not be on your radar in terms of an option for your next router, depending on whether you knew that Acer are making more than just laptops. It is relatively heavy, but, once sited and set up, this may give it a bit more durability than some of the flimsier models on the market. For our testers one of the use cases is the ability to transfer it from various locations depending on where they will be based next. This model’s solidity and heft actually stood it in good stead compared to some other options which tended to get a bit damaged in transit. With this model there are less delicate, moving parts and this actually works quite well, and was a positive aspect to the router.
Out of the box the device worked well, and it has good security protocols too, you just need to remember to set them up of course. Maybe it will even play better with your laptop if it is an Acer too, but it worked well with all devices that came within range of it. Accessibility to ports is good for all options apart from the one on the underneath of the base, maybe that one is for when it is attached to a wall, or floating in space perhaps. That to one solid, the weight and solidity work well in terms of avoiding cat, children or just clumsy operators. Our testers liked it, and are hopeful that they can get their hands on some of the newer Acer products that have caught their eyes next, especially the outdoors charging rigs. Now that could be interesting…
