Thank you. I did notice the little fan running as quick as it can. It just doesn’t seem like it can keep up. I have my router on a hard wooden board and keep it 8 inches away from the wall or other items. I have two small dowel rods I use to give it extra lift on the base to give extra airflow underneath. I know the router shouldn’t be running this hot but until I can drop another $400-$500 I will just have to keep it cool however I can. This hopefully is just a glitch with my router but the extra cooling keeps me connected for now.
Hi all
So quick update, downgrade of fw didn’t work, still loses all connections. I think mine may also be a heat issue - as it gets very warm, I only ever hear the fan coming on when it’s rebooted. I’ve contacted Amazon and they are shipping me a replacement, really impressed with their customer service.
