RAX120 Fan Settings

I stumbled upon your post because my router RAX120 has been running hot and the 5GHz keeps going out. I found some info somebody else posted about their system getting hot. Try "ip address/debug.htm". I found a setting that says " Always enable Fan". I checked it and hit apply and it looks like the setting stayed. I just checked the fan and holy crap, it's on! HOT air is coming out and I hope this fixes the performance issues. I have a feeling the 5GHz radio was turning off due to overheating.
I have RAX80 and when I go into that setting I do not see always enable fan. Perhaps it’s only rax120 setting??? Can anyone confirm?
I'm sorry but I do not have access to an RAX80. I did try the debug.htm on my netgear switch and received an Access Error. Here is a screen shot from the debug.htm on my RAX120. I updated to the latest Hot Fix firmware, V1.0.1.118, and the fan was unselected when I checked it this morning.
- Yeah I just compared my settings with yours and the enable fan setting is missing on my RAX80. Perhaps it’s only rax120 setting.
