Can my wireless modem or router overheat or catch fire if its left on over night it does get quite hot?

Question

help plz

Answer 1

my router has not been turned off in probably close to a year

no problems at all

Answer 2

never heard of it

its relatively low voltage

make sure the router is clear and the ventilation holes are not blocked - cat hair and the like

You can vacuum it out

Routers look impressive but if they are opened up its only one wafer in a box'

make sure the router is out in the open , the ac adapter is the correct one , and the ventilation holes are free and open

never heard of a router catching fire

Answer 3

no. not unless you douse it w/ lighter fluid and drop a match

Answer 4

It shouldnt do, they can overheat if youre using hacked firmware and have changed the output settings but you should be ok otherwise

Answer 5

um no modems and routers do are not suppose to get hot many people leave them on for months without a reboot try keeping it in an open area and get dust of both units i never herd of a overheating router
