Acer's New 5G Wi-Fi Hotspot Is One of the Best New Products from CES 2025

CES 2025 is all about amazing new tech. One of the new devices we love about the show is the 5G hotspot. Acer's new Connect M6E 5G Mobile Wi-Fi Hotspot is a surprisingly great package, perfect for anyone on the go.

Acer launches new Connect M6E 5G mobile hotspot

Acer's new Connect M6E 5G mobile hotspot ticks all the boxes: physical SIM and eSIM support, 2x2 MIMO, tap-to-connect NFC, and best of all, Wi-Fi 6E connectivity. You can also connect up to 20 devices at once, making it easy to toss in your bag or even take to the office, while the built-in display makes it easy to navigate the various settings menus.

The device has an 8,000mAh battery that keeps the hotspot running for 28 hours, and it supports fast charging via USB-C. Plus, it's built to "military standards," with an IP68 water and dust resistance rating. That means you can submerge the hotspot up to 1.5 meters deep for up to 30 minutes—not bad for a portable 5G Wi-Fi router.

Another big feature on this new 5G hotspot is SignalScan. This technology essentially allows the Connect M6E to switch between 5G networks from different providers and supports over 135 countries around the world.

So if you're traveling to a new country, you can grab an eSIM from Airalo, load it into your Connect M6E, and let it switch between 5G networks as needed. That means you're never far from a connection, keeping you online when you need it most.

Acer's new device is really impressive. What really stands out is the option to load an eSIM into the Connect M6E and connect to a variety of networks.

That alone is a great reason to pick up the Connect M6E - you'll never be offline for too long! The Acer Connect M6E 5G Mobile Hotspot will be available starting in Q2 2025, starting at $249.
