Posted .Hi Techsavvy1,
The Linksys RE6500 Extender's operating temperature is 32 to 104 F (0 to 40 C), so to avoid possible overheating, make sure that it is placed in a well-ventilated area. If it continues to overheat, reach out to us at LinksysCares@linksys.com so we can have one of our Escalation Engineers take a closer look at this matter. For easy reference, include your contact details and the link to this review.

Posted .Hi,
Make sure that the extender gets an optimum connection from the router and that it’s utilizing the latest firmware as it helps with stability. If that won’t help, let’s have our Escalation Engineers assist you. To start, just email us at LinksysCares@linksys.com along with the relevant details and a link to this review as our reference.
