    Exhaust Fans on ASUS Routers?

    There seems to be a bit of a debate on whether the addition of cooling fans are recommended for ASUS Routers such as AC68U, AC86U, AX86U etc. I have read both sides - either saying what seems hot is nowhere near touching the throttle, or saying heat/temperate is the reason for the many reports...

    I currently run a Sky FTTC network using the Sky Hub as a modem with the AC68U as router. The ASUS runs Merlin, and I have had this setup for a few years without any problems.

    Asus AC68U Access Issue

    Is anybody having any issues logging into their AC68U lately? I'm not sure if it is related to the latest Asus firmware update (Current Version : 3.0.0.4.386_41995-g272eb13) or not but for the past few days I have had to re-boot the router to gain access. It is then fine for most of the day...
