Orbi RBR50 material became sticky

I found a really simple solution that worked for me on two different Orbi routers after I too experienced the sticky router issue. Give the router a wipe with a damp, lint free cloth to get rid of any dirt and dust. Then sprinkle talcum powder liberally over the router. I just rubbed it all over with my hands then got a clean, dry cloth and wiped off any excess. Just like new. All of about 5 minutes work. Hopefully this works for others too.

I've also tried this same trick on other electronics that have become sticky like a couple of our kids' tablets. The main problem is that most other stuff is not white, so your electronics get a grey finish - not ideal. So for black items, I tried thinking of what else I had around the house that I could try and I had a little tub of activated charcoal powder kicking around (often used in cosmetics and really easy to get from pharmacies and maybe even supermarkets). I tried a bit of that and it works! Perhaps not as well as the talc but damn close. The tackiness is much reduced. Just wear gloves with this stuff and do it on a surface that won't colour easily because this stuff gets everywhere.

My next experiment is to do talcum powder first then hit it with charcoal powder. I think there is a market for this. You read it here first, folks. No prior art I can find.
