Re: Nighthawk AX12 Fan not working

they have a thermal limit when they turn on. They don't run all the time and on my RAX200, it rarely runs. I've only gotten it to run with putting a massive load on the router

I've only seen a fan run on a RAXE500.

Please make a new post about the buffering issue. 

Alternative solution would be to put a USB Laptop FAN under the router. I keep one under any router I have online.
