We expected to see 5G, the hotly anticipated next-gen mobile wireless network, at CES. We also expected to see Razer, the beloved gaming peripheral manufacturer, at the show as well… if only to see the CEO dodge some awkward questions about his reported behavior. And at CES 2020 we saw both of the things together in the new Razer Sila 5G gaming router.
Re-define the standards of ultra-low latency and connectivity––the new Razer Sila 5G Home Router concept is amongst the first to adopt connection that’s optimized for cloud gaming. This is the router you can certainly rely on.

You’ve probably heard of Razer PCs, mice, and controllers that turn your phone into a Nintendo Switch. But in 2018 they also put out the Razer Sila, adding some gamer-friendly features to the router idea. The Sila’s FasTrack engine maintained low latency and high bandwidth with dynamic network optimization, and could tell the difference between different consoles and their different needs.
The Sila 5G maintains that tech but adds the game-changer that is 5G, a network that’s potentially better than some home Wi-Fi setups. The router also works as a 5G mobile hotspot and can be controlled and customized via an app.
We’re not as excited about the future of cloud gaming following the disappointment of Google Stadia, but the dream of streaming games over the internet hasn’t died yet. This holiday’s new consoles, the PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X, will just lead to another push thanks to services like PlayStation Now and Project xCloud. So a device like the Razer Sila 5G should help keep online connections as smooth and stable as possible when playing these massive next-gen AAA games.
However, like many CES products, the Razer Sila 5G is currently just a concept rather than something to buy now. In fact, the collaborative way it was made in Razer’s home country Singapore means it’s currently locked to that region, according to CNET. Here’s hoping no one steals it like what happened to that Razer laptop with three screens.
