Questions about the router
I wonder if this router needs a notebook base to cool? Does it get very hot? Can he stay connected 24 hours a day 7 days a week direct?
Hi Gimli,
If you are referring to the XR500, then it does not need any cooling. I have the XR500 at my desk and it's been on 24/7 as well and its runs about room temperature.
Just make sure that you don't place the device in an enclosed area. :]

Hi.
The router does not get very warm. Mine has been on 24/7 since I purchased it on March 6th. Just make sure it in not in an enclosed space and has ventilation.
- Hi Gimli, I would just reiterate exactly what BIG_DOG has said above!
Mine stays pretty cool, I would say its room temperature maybe a degree higher . My modem on the other hand I could probably crack a egg on it and fry one no problems.
