overheating?

My new AC1200/EX6150 Extender seems to be too hot!  Is that normal?

Hi mrlsc1,

 

Welcome to the community!

 

You can check page 50 of the user manual on this link for the operating temperatures. Also, make sure that the extender is placed in a well ventilated are.

Hi mrlsc1,

 

1. Does the issue persist on another power outlet?

2. If the device is newly bought and can still be swapped out from the store, you can try another unit to isolate the issue.
