xr700 what's the temperature recommendation ?
My XR700 has been providing irregular download speed. I have Xfinity gigabit. Directly connected to modem, I get low 900s Mbps. Behind the router I can get up to 800s Mbps. (QoS on, Anti Buffer...

Those temp values would be in C, not F.
Kind of high temps.
I would ensure the fan is running all the time to help save the life of the router. Heat can and will cause damage to electronics over time.
I keep a laptop fan cooler under my routers that I run.

Behind the router I can get up to 800s Mbps. (QoS on, Anti Buffer on when needed, no hybrid VPN, no VLAN). However, more than often I get 300s Mbps typically.
I've tried different firmwares, factory reset, network card reset, but no luck.
I was wandering if it was hardware issue. And I recently learned about the Debug page that allows me to change fan speed. I've lowered the threshold. Since the CPU temps been less than 60, I get 800s Mbps more often. Please, see attached picture.
Here are my Qs.
1) Is the temperature in F? or C? I guess C.
2) What is the recommended temperature for optimized function of CPU and Wifi processors/antennas?
Thanks bunch.
