Anyone use the Airport Extreme Base Station?
« on: July 07, 2010, 03:52:52 pm »
Just set up my new AEBS. I didnt think it would be hot to the touch - my old Netgear Rangemax wasnt?!
Is this normal? - not the power supply unit - the actual router itself, feels hot to the touch on the top - near the Apple logo....

It otherwise works beautifully, and Im loving sharing my external USB drive over the network!

Yeah, mine is warm to touch on the top. I'd never noticed it though.

Mine is pretty much ambient temperature, not too hot to the touch at all.

Mine isnt so hot that you cant touch it - but its pretty warm.
I wasnt expecting it to even be warm though - my Netgear never used to be?
