Here's what our product experts tell us:
The devices work with all providers in Switzerland. You can see which bands are supported on the data sheet. However, it is best to clarify with Swisscom which bands it supports in order to obtain the maximum bandwidth.
The bandwidth can vary depending on the transmitting antenna. TS-9 connections are exclusively intended for 5G/LTE antennas.
Hello,
There's no possibility of attaching a file (too bad).
If you give me an e-mail address, I'll send you a photo of the label with the charger's specifications.
Best regards

Exactly, I had to do the same and have measurably increased the reception. The problem for me is the building and the location of the Predator Connect. I used a TS9 to SMA connector, a window feed-through and an external antenna.
As far as I have read, the problem with the antenna is also a software bug that has not yet been fixed (https://community.acer.com/en/discussion/682207/predator-connect-x5-external-antenna-not-working). The manual reboot is apparently not a software problem but a hardware problem that cannot be solved. I am very disappointed with this router. I bought it with a package from Digital Republic. So the whole offer is just useless.
The router needs antennas with the TS-9 connection. There is such an antenna available from Digitec, which could also be attached to a window with a suction cup, for example. Maybe that would already help for good reception? In general, it is very advantageous to have 4G or 5G routers very close to a window. You can still get quite a bit of reception power out of it.

The product can only be used as a 5G/WLAN router to achieve high-speed Internet access via 5G mobile radio. The product cannot be used as a bridge/repeater.
Unfortunately, we do not have any empirical values. However, we can recommend that you open a discussion on this topic, as experience has shown that more customers respond there.
There is a provider on digitec.ch who offers the router for Fr 387.70 but does not have it directly available. I would be cautious about the delivery times quoted by this retailer. Acer 5G Router Predator Connect X5 5G CPE

I have been using the Predator X5 for about 3 months now. The antenna is very weak, always only 1 bar in the 5G display, even if a mobile is next to it and has full reception. Now I have bought the Panorama Antennas DMM-7-38-2TS9 and hung them on the wall outside.... Result...0. In the first speed test, the result was even worse than without the external antenna? How can this be? The router is MIMO capable, isn't it? In the settings I changed the antenna to external. I have the feeling that the RSRP value is extremely bad.
External: RSRP: -110 dBm / RSSI: -103 dBm (up/down 190Mbps /31Mbps)
Internal: RSRP: -116 dBm / RSSI: -111 dBm (up/down 220Mbps /32Mbps)
Does anyone know if the reboot problem has been fixed? In case of power failure you have to restart the router manually... very funny in winter when the whole heating depends on it and you are not at home....
Does anyone know which frequencies or mobile standards are supported by the device via the TS9 (external antenna)? I have not found it in any documentation.
As a comparison the Zyxel NR5101 has 2 SMA connectors for external antenna and : only support 3300-4200 MHz frequency, that means only 5G!!!!
If I don't have 5G yet (but it should be coming soon), in this case an external antenna would be pointless until then, because the external antenna connector SMA cannot support 4G. And in the house, 4G / 5G is extremely limited.
A little tip for reading up on it go to Wikipedia
purchased mobile band frequencies Switzerland then you will even see
that the 4G includes extras with certain providers
the frequency range 3300 MHZ still needs to be expanded in my opinion. 😊
Too much disbelief out there but everyone wants internet 😅😅😅
And the reception is better through glass, so I would place it next to the window as a tip.
but nice that thing can also connect an external antenna but the price is too high
To all who read this comment wait until
404.- then all have joy 😊
