Hello, I am Joseph from Washington D.C., United States. I worked as an employee supervisor in my department. For 2 weeks, all the staff members are facing an issue while surfing the internet connection. I contacted the internet service provider, there is nothing wrong with the connection, but the router. The router is outdated, and not working properly. I continuously search for the router.
I found the Linksys E5600 WiFi router is a good one. I ordered it and it is working much better than the previous one. It is a good router and comes with great features. A compelling device that boosts the network signal all over my office building, even at every corner.
The capability of connecting upto 10+ users is a great advantage. Therefore, I placed this in my office. A dual-band technology provides a speed of 1200MBps with dual bands. The guest network feature allows you to provide a separate network, especially for unknown users.
Using the web interface, you can set up the device using a tablet, PC, or mobile phone. If you placed it in an open place, it spreads the coverage upto 1000 square feet. Now we tell you tips to overcome the overheating issue.
How To Tackle If Linksys E5600 WiFi Router is Overheating?
All the electronic devices when powered on, if used for a long time may overheat. Overheating the Linksys E5600 device may damage it. It usually overheats while it is working at a higher temperature than it is designed. Check the temperature of the device and how much it is heated up. If it is still hot, then these troubleshooting steps might help you to tackle this issue.
Check Firmware
The firmware of the Linksys device should be upgraded. You can check it by chasing myrouter.local or 192.168.1.1. The authentication required will show, type passphrase, and access the login page. Afterward, go to the administration option after reaching the configuration tab. Now click on the firmware upgrade icon. Bang on check firmware icon. If available it will show, otherwise no.
Under that, there is also a choice to upgrade the firmware manually by downloading the file. Keep in mind that you do not turn off your device while the firmware upgrade is in process. Turning off the device midway will interrupt the Firmware upgrade process.
Check Placement
To begin with, ensure that the router is not placed in a very hot room with high temperature, for eg, kitchen, store, etc. The room should be ventilated from both sides. So that air can pass through it. It will help to cool down the device. Get sure that there is no electronic device near the router. It may double the heating temperature. Do not place the router at the spot, where the sunlight directly hits on to the router. It should be placed at room temperature.
Remove Dust
Dust accumulates and limits the overflow of air from the E5600 device. Clean the dust with sere cotton cloth if accumulated in the router. Turn on your cooler or fan. That will circulate the air. Use pressurized things that will generate sir to remove the dust. Avoid putting the objects on the E5600 devices top. The router dropping connection will occur due to overheating.
Setup Again
Reset the E5600 router and go for the linksys e5600 setup again. To reset the device, you can chase its official website by accessing the web management page. The other way to reset the router is by using the thin needle type object. Insert that object into the pinhole for a few seconds until the LED light starts blinking. Now, wait for the device to reboot by itself. When the device reboots, for the setup operation again.
