The new guy here. Just purchased a 68R. I'm a woodworker so I threw together a "cradle" to mount from ceiling. Not vertical. Face down with base in cradle approximately a 25 degree angle upward towards ceiling. Top of router (antennas) is approximately 8 inches from ceiling. In hallway, center of home. No problems, other than self inflicted as of yet. Updated Firmware to RT-AC68U_3.0.0.4_374.43_2-10j9527.trx.
CPU temp is running 92 c. Searching these forums I see a lot saying this is too high. However, I have seen several saying acceptable. Here's my issue. 3 days left to return for exchange. Is this an acceptable temp? If not, should I return for same, or do the 68P? If I should do the latter, will this firmware work on the 68P as well. Seems to be the same from what I see. Just trying to verify from this intelligent crowd.
Sorry if this is a repeat. New to this whole thing and hitting snb has become my new school, hobby and relaxation after a days work.
Enclosing pic of router mounting. Should have plenty of air circulation. Temp just seems high from what I would expect. No knowledge and reading makes for a concerned individual. Don't laugh too loud, not finished yet and a rush job.
Thanks to all.
