    cheers. Forgot to mention, I've had my Ozenda for nearly two yrs and the power adapter packed in last month, so bought another from argos. Good to see that the adapter did its job and 'saved' the router from destruction:)

  • My Linksys just gets warm. It's located in the open and vertically though with the vents top and bottom so possibly any heat has a better chance of escaping. If positioned horizontally the vents would be left and right sides with less efficient air flow.
