My gut feeling is that the heat has already damaged the router. I powered off the device this afternoon for a couple hours (nice and cold) and the WiFi is completely down... cannot find the device. I have hardwire access and will try the downgrade suggestion afer work.
I like the /debug.htm suggestion, never knew that and apparently neither do the first level support guys. I was once a support rep and know its tough but at the same time know when you are guesing its time to escalate... the support techs say they cannot escalate the call unless I restore it a 3rd time... you know what they say about repeating the same action expecting a different response ... I am attempting an online RMA and I'm hopefull. I'll update this thread tonight if downgrading the firmware has any effect. Thnks
