Model: RE605X  
Hardware Version:
Firmware Version:

I just got this range extender and seems to work well there are two things I don't like.  One, because it doesn't have a ground plug, it is wobbly in the outlet.  And, the unit gets really hot, like 111 degrees fahrenheit.  This can't be normal, is it?

Is the operating temperature the heat the unit makes or the environment heat that it can work in?  I want to know if my unit is defective, since it's been heating up to 111 degrees.

  @Resist Yeah, I am not sure.  After I posted that I go thinking that the listing is for the environmental conditons that it will operate in.  I have had good luck using theLIve Chat for support, might want to ask them there.

  @DVair Could you check the temperature of yours and see how hot it gets?

  @Resist I have RE655BE which is different than yours, but it is not hot at all.

  @Resist Received a reply from TP-Link support and they are saying that the RE605X is good as long as the internal temperature is below 140 degree Fahrenheit.  I find this hard to believe because even the 111 degrees F that the upper front panel gets to now is really hot.
