Cooling

How do I turn on the internal cooling for the RT-AC66U router. The manual indicates it can be turned on, but does not indicate how. On page 8 of the manual it states "For optimum performance, please switch on the cooling system." But nowhere else is it mentioned.

Early models of this router had a cooling system but later ones do not. You most likely have the later model which has no fan, just a heatsink.
