Router overheating

I bought a wireless D-link router about a month ago. Its the Di624. Its seems to be overheating or something. My connection goes in and out(in windows). I touched the router and its seems to hot for its on good(at least my other routers never got that hot). Anyways, I've had a fan blowing on it constantly for the past 2 or 3 weeks now and the problem seems to have gone away. Also, all the lights on the router blink and then go out and then come back. Almost like its reseting itself. I just wanted to know if anyone else is having or had this same problem? Or maybe you can tell if I'm not doing something or maybe doing something wrong.

Same, get it exchanged!


I got a us.robotics 8002-A which has a dodgy psu, it seems they fitted some kind of adapter to it, which doesn't always give enough voltage for the router to run, it makes the net die, but the lan stays running. I foned up and i should be reciving a new plug soon! have fun!

Last summer my internet connection was weak and unstable. I figured that the router was overheating. I placed wooden blocks under it, to raise it off the table. After that, the connection was stronger and stable.

It's not always a complicated or technical problem.
