My modem is not too hot to touch, but almost! I have the modem in my climate controlled closet on a shelf wide open to the rest of the room. I ordered a infrared thermometer that will be here Wednesday. On Wednesday I can give you guys exact temperatures. Anybody else have experience with this modem?

Hello SiliconRage
Here is what it should be at
Operating temperature: 32° to 104°F (0° to 40°C)
So it does seem to be hotter than normal I would contact our support.
