newbie ,, does your router get warm?

[#1]

ok its on  my  desk/  with plenty of  air  around  it ,,
is  it  ok to get a taft  warm?
never on than more than  30-45 mins.

When I had problems with my central heating my router was my foot warmer, so yes they get warm but they shouldn't get hot then they can get flaky.  Get some rubber feet for it and raise it, it doesn't need much to help.

I hope that doesn't mean you are turning it on and off many times a day as it can have a detrimental effect on your speed.

Routers like all electrical devices do warm up after they've on a while, but don't worry they are built to take it and it's quite normal.
Just out of curiosity do you have a thermometer that you could use to take a reading next to the router? we'd be interested to know exactly how warm a taft is in all seriousness though if you can do that please let us know.

Ideally a router should be left on 24/7.
