WN1000RP over heating

Question

I bought a WN1000RP range extender in March 2016. It worked fine unit a few nights ago when it wouldn't connect, so I set it back up again. It worked fine until last night (04/18/16) when it over heated and caught fire on my back porch at 1am. We woke up to flames as high as the porch ceiling. A few more minutes and the ceiling would have been on fire. Has anyone else had this happen??

Is that outdoors? &nbsp;What was the temperature and humidity at 1 AM?&nbsp;I doubt the WN1000RP is rated for outdoor use. &nbsp;The sensitive electronics are not going to handle large temperature and humidity swings very well. &nbsp;The inside wall would have been a better location.

It was out on our covered patio up next to the house wall.&nbsp; It was 62 degs and 50% humitity that night.&nbsp; Not like it was sitting out in the weather (rain, heat).&nbsp; It should not have overheated and shorted out sitting where it was.
