Hot routet

My comment is similar to another customer’s. Our new white router was difficult to install. Then it became very warm to hot and still is about 15 hours later. Is this mormal?

The cooling fan is likely to be malfunctioning, or the blades are loaded with dust. It's quite a common problem here. You could try blowing it out with some canned air. If that doesn't work, there is no fix other than to get it swapped out for another by them. Taking it to your local Xfinity store to be swapped out for another would be the fastest option, or ship it back for free via UPS and have them ship you another one. You can also choose to pay for a UPS pick up at https://www.ups.com/us/en/business-solutions/pickup-dropoff-options/ups-on-call-pickup.page or by calling 1-800-PICK-UPS.
