some bought netgear, linksys that case had metal, some band don't have fan, maybe over-heat or thermal heat, router will be hot on case, case will air-burn. Maybe Router is hot then damage over heat ??? because extra speed CPU with heat on case?

I never have issue with my Netgear router.
 
Same thing like iPad don't have cooling fan. It is normal overheat while playing games.
 
Yeah, I'm sure manufacturers ran excessive test on their modem/router whether the device needed fan or not. I have Motorola router with no fan, but it has bunch of holes all over the cover and no issue with overheat.

Just be sure it has proper vent.
 
Possible replace to manufacturers things issues problem. cause on affect bad work out. that is affect. Maintenance make sure check it overheat fan.
 
There was another thread about someone fixing this problem by switching the heatsink to something bigger and adding a fan. Have to rip off the cover though
 
Ok OK OK...

What best 802.11ac band/model without hot /
overheat

ASUS RT-AC66U had hot?
Lainksys still hot?
NetGear still Hot?

I hear new ASUS Rt-AC67U chipset is ARM, still hot?

802.11ac is new technology so it will be usual for routers to become overheat or running hot, so it happened to N in 2007-2010 - the overheat was issue, especially Linksys.

If overheat is majority of your concern, also if you don't rely on WiFi to transfer the big files or not have 1 GBPS internet plan so AC is pointless. Keep N for few years until AC improves like less overheat.

I had deal with overheat issues for years - Cisco didn't give a damn.
 
Are you sure all band 802.11ac had overheat.

Are they normal?

Yes.

It is OK under regular use but heavy stuff like torrent will cause overheat and possibly damage the hardware.

You need install the cooling fan if you want keep 802.11ac.
 
Try to use a cooling pad under laptop? It might help your router cooling.
