CES 2025 is a dazzling array of new technology, so I didn’t expect one of my favorite new devices to be a 5G hotspot. Acer’s new Connect M6E 5G mobile Wi-Fi hotspot is just that – a surprisingly great package that’s perfect for anyone on the go.
Acer launches new Hotspot Mobile Connect M6E 5G
Acer’s new Connect M6E 5G mobile hotspot ticks all the boxes: support for physical SIMs and eSIMs, 2×2 MIMO, NFC touch to connect, and, on top of that, Wi-Fi 6E connectivity. You can also connect up to 20 devices simultaneously, which makes it practical to keep in your bag or even take it to the office, while the integrated screen makes it easy to navigate through the various settings menus.
It has an 8,000 mAh battery that keeps the hotspot running for 28 hours, and supports fast charging over USB-C. In addition, it is built to “military quality standards” (although there are problems with companies using the MIL-STD-810G) and has an IP68 rating for water and dust resistance. This means you can immerse the hotspot at 1.5 meters for up to 30 minutes, not bad for a portable 5G Wi-Fi router.
The other great feature of this new 5G hotspot is SignalScan. Basically, this technology allows the Connect M6E to jump between 5G networks for different providers and has support for more than 135 countries around the world.
So, if you are in a new country, you can get an eSIM from Airaloload it onto your Connect M6E, and let it switch between 5G networks as needed. It means you’ll never be far from a connection, keeping you online when you need it most.
The Connect M6E 5G Mobile Hotspot is just what I need
I may be writing this at CES 2025, and Wi-Fi is notoriously spotty there, but I’m impressed with Acer’s new unit. What really stands out is the option to load an eSIM onto the Connect M6E and have it connect to a wide range of networks.
This alone is a great reason to pick up the Connect M6E – you’ll never be offline for long! The Acer Connect M6E 5G mobile hotspot will be available from Q2 2025 and starts at $249.
