    Switching Routers; do what first?

    Swapped ok (with a couple of glitches). Considerably more power consumption (2 to 2 1/2 X) and the resulting heat with the Netgear over the TP Link which is why I mount these vertically with 'spacer feet' to increase air flow from the bottom of the enclosure.

    Switching Routers; do what first?
