Model: Archer AX50  
Hardware Version:
Firmware Version: 1.0.9

Hello, my Ax50 runs real hot from the bottom, warmer then I would suspect... I almost feel it would melt internally. Is this just how this router operates and is anyone else experiencing the same ?

Thx Fab.

That's a common situation with this model. Make sure you've put the device in a well ventilated place and on a firm surface.

You can even use some spacers to lift it up above the surface - that would probably improve things.

The other way to reduce the temperature is to lower the wireless transmission power (Medium instead of High),  you'll reduce the wireless coverage a little bit though.
