RAX80 Fan

Is there anyone that can tell me when the fan off the RAX80 turns on.

I have it for 2 weeks now and it only ever has turned when I reseted it and even then it only does that for 5 sec.

The router gets pretty warm but still the fan doesn't turn on.

Is this normal?

  • Yes it is. I don't know the specifics at that temp the fan turns on but I've only managed to get my RAX200 to turn the fan on (other than bootup) once and I was stressing it with multiple transfers to really see if I could max it out. In everyday use, I haven't heard it run a single time. It does get warm but not hot.
