Hi

is
CPU Temperature:92 °C
RAM Temperature:60 °C
Wifi Temperature:58 °C
normal or a little to much for the router?
Are there any devices, techniques to cool down a little?
Special material under the router?
Now it is on wood.

These temperatures are completely normal, the typical architecture is mvebu.

Wood is not an ideal conductor of heat, try iron, sheet metal or ceramics. Leave enough space under the router and above the router for ventilation, that should be enough.

Thx
i ordered an aluminium heap vent absorb stand so i can put the switch underneath and the router aboth.
An TP Link AC1750 died which was on top of the other switch from heat

I made little distance and got little less temperature now
CPU Temperature:87 °C
RAM Temperature:56 °C
Wifi Temperature:54 °C

Hi

I have a similar router a Linksys WRT1900ACS which displayed a CPU temperature of just over 80°C when I got it. A bit of research showed this was 'normal', though I did not like it.

I found that a normal small 12volt 3" case fan would power up from the USB ports on the router and run at a slow and quiet speed. I mounted the fan on top of the case and over the CPU using a mouldable removable putty called Blu Tack, sucking the air out of the router. Applying the Blu Tack around the edge of the fan allowed a good seal to the router case. A little soldering of a USB plug to the fan leads and it works perfectly. As I type;
CPU Temperature:54 °C
RAM Temperature:28 °C
Wifi Temperature:26 °C

May not be necessary, but I am happier with my temperatures.

I always put heat sink (prefer cooper) on CPU.

I live on tropical country, almost all routers are built to cooler place, so...

Already lost some routers by heat.
