it dropped from 53 to 46 in 20 minutes and if the last experiment
holds it should level out at 41).

Have other people send the temp on the router higher when it is flat
then when it is on the side?


Haven't noticed myself, but if the venting is the same as mine (on the
sides, not top and bottom), then it's perfectly reasonable.  The hot air
would escape more easily and be replaced by cooler air.

Convection is a great friend in the right circumstances...

Hi,

I've be doing a bit of remodeling in the household and I noticed an
interesting issue with the temperature of the the router (an SG-2220). If I
put the router flat, it heated up to 53 Celsius (9AM mid 70's Fahrenheit
room temp). WHen I turned the router in the side, it dropped from 53 to 46
in 20 minutes and if the last experiment holds it should level out at 41).

Have other people send the temp on the router higher when it is flat then
when it is on the side?
