Reply To: ASUS – DSL-AC88U / DSL-AC3100 Firmwares (beta's) etc. Looks like a new Beta Release for the DSL-AC88U is available, this version has Telnet enabled and improved 2.4GHz wifi (I believe).

Good to know AiProtection is working with 55% Memory usage.

I have spoken with ASUS regarding CPU as there is always a lot of hyp/stress/worry with Routers core CPU temp.

In essence, if the router is situated in a room which has a temp range between 0-40 degrees Celsius and relative humidity does play a small part,  but this should be ok.

If the CPU is under high usage, it will run at a higher temp than normal, but in reality, even for the wifi chips, anything over 80°C is when you should start worrying (my view)

My RT-AC86U CPU runs at 69°C currently and it is easy to tell as if CPU is too hot as you would experience random (unexplained) reboots etc.

From my old forum, users mentioned there CPU’s was 2.4 GHz: 66°C – 5 GHz: 77°C – CPU: 61.77. and the Broadcom CPU’s do run hot.

So you are fine but it always best practice to keep the router in a cool location, preferable well vented if possible ;-)
