I looked a bit , and noticed the the Temp is quite high - IS IT NORMAL?

Its currnetly 30 C inside my home.
Is there a solution that I can do?

That's about normal for that model. My RT-AC68U (a different model) had the same temperatures also.

Confirming normal for this model. Your home temperature is quite high though.

Yeah , the middle east is quite high on temps
At that temp - is the performance get hit?

No it shouldn't. Look for errors in the router's System Log if you think you have a problem.

If the temperature gets closer to 100°C the CPU will start throttling and one core will shut down crippling the overall performance.

I had in the past issue with stability when AC86U temperature was above 85C - I just added on back 120mm USB fun. And do not keep in in close space.
It non need to be issue with CPU or wi-fi direct if you have such big temperature inside different components that are not monitored can be unstable.

you did not wrote what issues you have with wi-fi?
