You're welcome! Yes, I did notice that as well. I have the RAX120 striclty as a router now and use a DHCP server along with AX6000 as my wireless APs. This way, I rarely have to restart the RAX120 and can keep the fan going. Because it was getting so hot, I bought some mini fans that hook up to the USB.
