Ugh.  Beats me.  Neither my router nor satellite look like that.  On the other hand, if it doesn't smell burnt, maybe it isn't.

Just don't place it next to something that will catch fire easily.

Burn marks where?

"out of the box", return it.

How long has it been working?

Re: Rbs50

Oh, s**t.  "Burn marks" are never good.  On the other hand, there have been reports of the plastic case becomming discolored.

Does it smell burned?

No burn smell just black spots on the top side.

Re: Rbs50

That would not be cuased by something under or inside the case. That looks like something landed on the top cover or maybe the top cover plastic had some corrupt materials in the mix and has degraded. 


Is there any indiation of a burning smell coming from the unit? 

Is this the only unit that exhibits this? 

These marks only on the top cover or on the case as well? 

 

Is the system working ok?
