Hello !
My router is getting hotter when I am using internet so... I want to ask , if a router has high temps will I lose download speed or something ?
Also is there any way to keep it cooler?

Well if you cannot monitor temps from a web site, I would suggest calling them and seeing how you can monitor temps. They will know more info than we do (hopefully).

I have a ASUS RT-56u that gets hot (sometimes 80c) but it's designed to do that. I bought a chap USB powered fan and plugged it in the back and kept it below 50c. But as long as it's not against the wall, it should be fine. High temps shouldn't slow down speeds, but what is the CPU and RAM looking like?

Also what's the brand of your router?

Yes, modern router has CPU and RAM temps, but I never heard of that company. Was that router given to you by your ISP?

Actually at first they had gave me a Wind router (that's the name of the company) and I told them to change it if possible and they send me this that I said above !
