I Need Help With The Dir-815.

I have the DIR-815 connected to my modem along with the Verizon network extender.  In the afternoon my office gets a little warm and I have to unplug the DIR-815 to reboot it several times to reconnect to the internet.  Do I need to return the DIR-815?

Returning it is one option (assuming it's under warranty).  Another is to relocate the unit to a place that has less heat buildup.  If it's on your PC move it to the floor or away from the PC in some way.  A heat related issue is probably a sign of an impending total failure.  They are typically caused by poor solder connections or marginal electronic components when there is no fan in the unit.  I would try to get it replaced before you are forced to.
