Acer Wave 7 2-pack

I have had the opportunity to test this product over the past few weeks, but it was not without its challenges. I compared the Wave 7 with my current Wi-Fi 6 environment, consisting of a Fritz!Box and a Fritz!Repeater. The Wave 7 ran completely alongside my existing network, so that I could make a fair comparison. However, during testing I noticed a few things. When unpacking the box, a QR code immediately stands out, which should make installation via the app easy. Unfortunately, this did not work so smoothly in practice, because the supplied firmware was outdated. This made installation via the app impossible. In my case, I first had to set up a wired connection to my PC and manually update the firmware via the Wave 7 web portal. Only then could I complete the installation via the app. Once the installation was complete, I could start testing. What I quickly noticed was that the connection regularly dropped out or slowed down considerably. This issue occurred on both the 2.4GHz and 5GHz frequency bands, as well as the 2.4GHz and 6GHz options. This instability occurred on several devices, including my phone (which supports Wi-Fi 7) and my laptop (which runs on Wi-Fi 6).

I had the honor to test these Access Points from Review.nl. The user-friendliness of this set is not really optimal. During testing I found out that the agent in particular falters quite a bit in terms of connection and regularly loses the connection. The controller seems to be more stable, but 9 out of 10 times when I try to log in to the web portal via the IP address it does not work, with the address http://acer-connect.com I always end up on a web page that indicates that this site is still available for sale... When both devices are working, the connection is good. But every now and then they lose the connection to the internet, also quite annoying. The installation is quite easy! Turn it on, let it pair with each other and the app guides you through everything. The app has minimal functionalities to adjust things, web-based is more adjustable, but then you have to be able to get in... All in all, this set disappoints me unfortunately. Have also reset them to factory settings a few times, used different settings, but nothing seems to help.
