The product, in the report: cisco linksys e3000 high performance wireless-N router
The bottom of the Cisco Linksys e3000 wireless router becomes extremely hot to touch. I first noticed this several weeks ago. as a result of the high heat the router starts to fail. reports from conducitng an internet review reports that the temperature has been measured as high as 150 degrees F. This temperature is hot enough to either cause burns for flesh as well as the possbility of ignition of materials near or upon which it is placed.
here are somelinks relating the issue and represents a survey of the magnitude of the problem:
