Great point. However as a proactive measure, running a laptop cooler under any router can help prolong HW life, stave off any HW failure contributed to heat. Heat can degrade or damage electronics or the life of the unit. Keeping additional cooling going is a benefit in most cases. Been running additional cooling on any router I put online for a long time. Also we can't be completely sure if and when the internal fan would trigger if the heat temp was met or exceeded. I'd rather not take a chance on that. 🙄
