“This device is pretty hot on the bottom. Is this normal?”

1-5 of 5 Answers

• It should not be. It overheating can cause issues. Ensure that it is not on top of another electronic device that may be generating heat and that there is open space around the bottom of the device (around the legs) so that air is able to flow easily.

• Yes, this is normal for this line of devices (in my experience). Just make sure you turn the device off once per month or so, and vacuum the exhaust ports to remove build up. This will help keep the heat down, and will improve the life-span of your product.

• I think it is normal. I have a fan blowing on mine to keep it from over heating. Better safe than sorry. I don't know what would happen if I didn't have the fan on it. I've had it there from the first day I bought when I noticed the high temperature.

• Is it still safe to touch the device? Here's the router's operating temperature: 32 to 104°F (0 to 40°C)
