TP-Link Archer 8 Wi-Fi 8 router with improved signal, faster speed announced

Tired of your video calls freezing even though your internet plan is supposed to be fast? TP-Link thinks the problem isn’t your provider, but your router. The company has just announced the Archer 8, its very first router based on the new Wi-Fi 8 standard, and it is not obsessed with peak speeds. Instead of chasing bigger numbers on a box, TP-Link is focusing on making home Wi-Fi actually work when you need it most. The Archer 8 is built around the upcoming IEEE 802.11bn specification, with a launch date set for October 2026. The main goal is to fix the usual headaches: inconsistent signals in different rooms, lag spikes while gaming, and connections that drop when too many devices are online at once. To back up its claims, TP-Link ran its own tests inside the company’s labs. Engineers compared early Wi-Fi 8 hardware against current Wi-Fi 7 gear under messy, real-world conditions. The numbers suggest some meaningful improvements: Speed at longer ranges got ...

Acer Predator Atlas 8 gaming handheld is powered by Intel’s Arc G3 chips

Acer-Predator-Atlas-8

Acer might not be the first name that comes to mind when you think of gaming handhelds. Rivals like ASUS and Lenovo usually steal the spotlight. But that could change later this year with the Predator Atlas 8.

The reason? It will be one of the first portable gaming PCs to run on Intel’s brand new Arc G3 chips.

Acer hasn’t changed the overall look or design much compared to its earlier models. Instead, the focus is on what’s inside. The Atlas 8 comes with an 8-inch IPS screen that runs at 1,920 by 1,200 resolution. The display hits 500 nits of brightness and has a 120Hz variable refresh rate for smoother motion.

Under the hood, Acer is using either Intel Arc G3 or G3 Extreme processors. These chips support Arc B390 graphics and use Intel’s XESS 3 AI upscaling tech. That helps cut down on stutter and input lag while boosting your frames per second. To help with battery life, Intel added a new Endurance Gaming mode. It balances performance and power use so you can play longer without hunting for a wall outlet.

The rest of the specs look solid too. You get a large 80 watt-hour battery, 1 terabyte of storage, and up to 24 gigabytes of shared memory. There are also Hall Effect analog triggers, a Gorilla Glass Victus screen, a microSD card reader, and two Thunderbolt 4 ports. That’s more than most handhelds offer.

Acer also updated its cooling system with an AeroBlade fan. The company says it delivers 10 percent better airflow than previous models. Dual two-watt speakers with DTS:X Ultra audio are included, plus support for Wi-Fi 7. Gamers who like to adjust trigger feedback will appreciate a physical switch. It lets you go from a very shallow pull for shooters to a deeper, more sensitive pull for flight sims or racing games.

Now for the bad news. Acer hasn’t shared official pricing yet, and there are no real-world benchmarks to compare against devices like the Lenovo Legion Go 2 or the ASUS ROG Ally yet.

Sei Crypto Wallet to come pre-installed on Xiaomi phones

Xiaomi and The Sei Development Foundation, a non-profit that promotes the Sei network, have entered a global partnership that aims to promote mainstream blockchain adoption. From 2026, Xiaomi phones available outside mainland China and the United States will come pre-installed with a wallet and crypto discovery app developed by Sei Labs.

Following a long break from solo adventures, two major new games in the Tomb Raider series were revealed at The Game Awards 2025.
