    Ugh.  Beats me.  Neither my router nor satellite look like that.  On the other hand, if it doesn't smell burnt, maybe it isn't.

    Just don't place it next to something that will catch fire easily.

    Burn marks where?

    "out of the box", return it.

    How long has it been working?

        Oh, s**t.  "Burn marks" are never good.  On the other hand, there have been reports of the plastic case becomming discolored.

        Does it smell burned?
