Just wondering guys as i have just bought this router brand new from OCUK...
and just today got the router and installed merlin, i hope its the latest firmware i have installed as i wasnt sure
anyway look at the temps, this cant be normal temps, the dam thing is hotter than my pc cpu lol


---------------------

Note* this merlin firmware is awesome BTW

That's "normal" with ASUS routers. Also the SoCs are made to endure high temps but if you worry, buy a USB powered fan and let it blow at the unit. I agree that ASUS should be doing a better job at cooling the routers. I already have 2 failed ASUS routers due to high temps. Now I'm a bit wiser and if I ever buy another ASUS, I'll make sure to get a fan as well. But that may be not soon as I love my cooler R7000
