Hot to the touch. I can barely pick it up in summer. I have it sitting on my A/C vent with the furnace fan running 24/7. Temps read over 100 degrees F. Is this normal? It DOES affect my internet connection, signal get dropped and is very slow at times.

  1. yes thats a problem
  2. Contact arris if you’re still within warranty
  3. The only time I’ve seen it happen with good devices was when the incoming power was at rediculous levels. What are you downstream levels at?
