    Welcome to NETGEAR Community!

     

    Kindly access MR1100 settings page and make sure that Ethernet Standby and WiFi Standby settings are set to disabled. 

     

    Access UI > Settings > Setup > Mobile Router Setup > Ethernet Standby (disabled or 2 minutes)

     

    Access UI > Settings > Setup > Wireless > change WiFi Standby to Disabled.

      I have the same problem and have read something about the battery and the charger causing the router to overheat. I just made the changes you suggested, hence disabled the Ethernet Standby and WiFi Standby settings. We shall see.
