Aironet 1142N gets hot

we just purchased a new Cisco Aironet 1142N and it does get hot towards the top center where the Cisco logo is.
Is this normal? Should I be concerned?

Is the Cisco logo pointed downwards?
If it is hot-to-touch, I'd recommend you RMA it.  It could be a fire hazard.

  • Cisco Aironet 1142N at elementary school

    Hi. We're having a tough time at a couple of elementary schools that are using a number of Cisco products which we got through a deal with AT&T. I really hope you can give us some guidance. Here's our situation: We have an elementary school equipped with about eight Cisco Aironet 1142N access points. Signals go to 3 stacked switches (Cisco Catalyst 3750 PoE-48) and are managed via a Cisco wireless LAN controller (NME-AIR-WLC12-K9).
    We are having significant bandwidth problems. If we get more than 12 laptops (we've got a "mobile Macintosh lab") simultaneously online, the network freezes.We can't even get more than 15 iTouches online simultaneously.
    Here's the rest of the setup: our *elementary* school is connected via fiber (probably 10MB) to the *intermediary* school and then to the district office. The district office is connected to the Internet (county depart of Ed is officially the ISP; AT&T is the service provider).  The AT&T link may be 6MB.At the *intermediary* school the data traffic for the mobile Macs is    handled by an

    The XServers are for Directory Services only (log in authentication for the MacBook Labs). There is one Open Directory Master at the intermediary school, and an Open Directory Replica at each site. A LightSpeed Total Traffic Control Server does content filtering for us. There are also about 5 Cisco (Windows-based) servers helping manage data at the intermediary school (VOIP and Wifi traffic only).The rest of the traffic (internal, wired ethernet) is handled by the Cisco switches and controllers; for external traffic - after the controllers it goes to the LightSpeed Traffic Control server then out the Cisco FireWall.
    Sorry to dump all that on you, but candidly since we installed the Aironets in September we haven't really been able to effectively use the mobile Mac lab. Ideally we'd like to be able to run about 30 laptops simultaneously. They don't have to get video -- just google searches would be a start.
    We should also note that at this elementary school, we have 4 wifi networks running different VLANs available through the Aironets. The one that has the most problems is the one I've described above -- it's supposed to be for student access. We have a teacher-only network that does NOT seem to have the same bandwidth constraints as the student network. We also Cisco VOIP phones all over the school, but use of the phones is modest.

    What we’d like to know:
    1.     Is it likely that we have an insufficient number of access points or that that those access points can’t handle? If so, is the problem likely that we need more access points? (and if that's true, why is the teachers' network ok?)
    2.     Is the problem more likely at the server or switch choke point?
    3.     Is it likely that the problem involves Student accounts rather than teacher accounts? Why would this be so?
    4.     What are the best ways to test what’s causing our choke points?
    Thank you for your help!!!

    Thanks all for your comments. Here are some responses as well as our current "plan of action." I'd VERY MUCH welcome any additional suggestions that you have about the test we're going to run (probably next Tue).
    1. Channel: the site operates on Channel 1 (2.4 Ghz)
    2. Professional site survey: no: AT&T is supposed to do it at some point as they're our ISP. But that hasn't yet happened. No idea when it might.
    3. Aggressive load balancing?  We don't know as AT&T has that info.
    4. 15th client... Once we exceed 15 clients, access for all clients grinds to a halt. The slowdown is a pretty steep curve (not quite a cliff) for 15 clients when we use iPods; it begins at 12 clients or so when we use Macbooks.

    Does your WLAN come to a halt or does the wired LAN gets affected too?
    When we experience these problems, the teachers’ wireless LAN is unaffected. The only place we’re experiencing the slowdown is on the wireless LAN that’s used by the students. We have a “computer lab” with a wired network of about 30 PCs. (Ethernet CAT 5 to fiber on the way out of the building). This is a separate VLAN from the (student) wireless VLAN. When the student wireless VLAN stalls, it DOES NOT affect either the wired VLAN or teacher network. We do experience slowdowns on the WIRED student VLAN but no where as severe as on the WIRELESS VLAN. (In other words, we can run all 30 wired PCs on the wired LAN).
    6. Could inability to get more computers on the network be due to an address limitation in the NAT server?
    No. We have a big, big address range.
    Here's our current plan: we're going to VERY CAREFULLY chronicle the drop off in usage at several points during the day:
    8:00 am (no students)
    10:00 am (busy school but probably not much student wifi usage)
    noon: we'll run a test with +15 students using laptops and measure the bandwidth using a network speed checker at every point. That way, we figure we'll have a clearer chart of the usage breakdown.
    Does anyone have any suggestions of addition things we should monitor during this test? We're going to do it next Tue (2/19).
    In addition, if there are any specific questions that we should put to AT&T, I'd love to hear them.
    Thank you all!!

  • Iphone 4s battery draining very fast and phone getting hot - downloaded ios 6 about 2 weeks back

    my iphone 4S gets discharged in few hours - started doing this 2 days back
    I downloaded ios6 about 2 weeks back
    Phone getting hot too
    battery drains even without using the phone- and phone becomes hot
    have tried turning it completely off and restarting it but still battery draining problem persists
    please guide

    I final piece for me in the jigsaw following on from this
    http://www.care4pcs.co.uk/2012/10/how-to-be-happy-gmail-user-on-iphone-or.html 
    is to turn off wifi when you do not need it. When I leave the house I turn off wifi, because the majority of the times when my iPhone has got very hot and crashed is when I am away from home. I suspect that if the iPhone is in the vicinity of public wifi (wheather secure or not secure) it will try and connect, even if you have 'automatically join known networks' set to off. This is easy of course if you have an unlimited data contract for your iPhone. I may be wrong, but it is working for me. It makes sense for me because it is another way of reducing the work the processor (and battery) has to do and therefore reduces the chance of overheating.
    Having said that, I never had this problem with my iPhone 4. I now have a 4S.
    Try it. Hope it works for you.

  • Iphone 4 battery draining quick getting hot till hours

    Hi there,
    I got a problem with my iPhone. I restored it Yesterday via iCloud and today the battery is draining very quick and its getting hot. No background apps running! I got iStat, it says the workload is always at ~3. A reboot doesn't help. Hopefully this bug should have been invenstigated by an apple engineer.

    There was a problem with a CalDAV server. It always trying connecting to it. Then dataaccessd crashed. And connected again and crashed, and so one....  After deleting the account and readded (with the same informations) the iPhone's running normal again.

  • I am having problems with my Mac Book Pro Retina locking up after updating from Lion to Maverick.  I was having no trouble until I did the upgrade, and now it is locking up, freezing after about 5 minutes, and getting hot.  Any suggestions?

    A while back I had an upgrade available to me.  I had Lion when I bought this Pro.  The upgrade is Maverick.  After downloading and installing the upgrade, my computer started freezing while doing anything.  I might not get this completely written before it freezes.  The keyboard is getting hot, and I have to use the power button to turn it off.  After it has sat for at least 10 minutes, I can turn it back on.  I might be able to do some work for 5 minutes, or up to 30 minutes before it freezes again.  Some of my programs are not working, either.
    I would appreciate any suggestions anyone might have, or even go back to Lion, if I can figure out how to.
    Thanks.

    Please read this whole message before doing anything.
    This procedure is a diagnostic test. It’s unlikely to solve your problem. Don’t be disappointed when you find that nothing has changed after you complete it.
    The purpose of the test is to determine whether the problem is caused by third-party software that loads automatically at startup or login, by a peripheral device, by a font conflict, or by corruption of the file system or of certain system caches.
    Disconnect all wired peripherals except those needed for the test, and remove all aftermarket expansion cards, if applicable. Start up in safe mode and log in to the account with the problem. You must hold down the shift key twice: once when you turn on the computer, and again when you log in.
    Note: If FileVault is enabled, or if a firmware password is set, or if the startup volume is a Fusion Drive or a software RAID, you can’t do this. Ask for further instructions.
    Safe mode is much slower to start up and run than normal, with limited graphics performance, and some things won’t work at all, including sound output and Wi-Fi on certain models. The next normal startup may also be somewhat slow.
    The login screen appears even if you usually login automatically. You must know your login password in order to log in. If you’ve forgotten the password, you will need to reset it before you begin.
    Test while in safe mode. Same problem?
    After testing, restart as usual (not in safe mode) and verify that you still have the problem. Post the results of the test.

  • My iPhone 5 iOS 7.0.4 still gets hot and drains battery with everything but cellular turned off.  What to do?

    Have a new iPhone bought in late July 2013.  It had zero heating issues and battery issues until the past week (Nov. 2013).  Now, the iPhone gets hot to the touch and the battery drains within 2 to 3 hours, EVEN AFTER I HAVE DISABLED ALMOST EVERY FEATURE OF THE iPHONE.
    This iPhone has iOS 7.0.4, installed within last 36 hours.  I then erased the entire iPhone and restarted it as a New iPhone.  Then I went in and turned off everything in the way of Settings that permit disabling.  All notifications, spotlight searches, application updating, accessibility features, push features, location services, etc. were turned off or disabled.  Brightness is set to Auto.  Don't use the iCloud. 
    After doing all of that, which essentially rendered this iPhone just a clunky old cell phone, not even using WiFi, I connected to iTunes on my computer and restored my backed up apps, photos. 
    After the Restore, I went back into settings and made certain that, again, all notifications, app services, location services, updatings, etc. were disabled, still.
    The problem persists.
    It seems the only solution is to get rid of all my Apps and never use WiFi, or iCloud, or Mail.  That is unacceptable.
    Does anyone have a solution, besides my calling on the warranty on this phone?

    Basic troubleshooting from the User's Guide is reset, restart, restore (first from backup then as new).  Try each of these in order until the issue is resolved. 
    If the problem continues, take the device to Apple for evaluation and possible replacement.

  • The iPod touch 5 battery won't charge, the iPod battery gets hot and doesn't turn on...  What is wrong?  Can photos and data be retrieved?

    The iPod touch 5 battery won't charge, the iPod battery gets hot and doesn't turn on...  What is wrong?  Can photos and data be retrieved?

    - See:      
    iPod touch: Hardware troubleshooting
    - Try another cable. Some 5G iPods were shipped with Lightning cable that were either initially defective or failed after short use.
    - Try another charging source
    - Inspect the dock connector on the iPod for bent or missing contacts, foreign material, corroded contacts, broken, missing or cracked plastic.
    - Make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store. I suspect a hardware problem  due to the hotness. If iTunes can't see the iPod then uor only hope if to contact a data recovery company for getting data off the iPod. If you have an iPod backup you can restore another iPod, iPhone or iPad from the backup to get the data that was in the backup

  • IPhone 4s Getting Hot for no reason and wifi not working help?

    The otherday my phone was in my pocket and I could feel it getting hot, so I pulled it out of my pocket and noticed it was a lot hotter than it should be, after noticing this I noticed that my wifi was not connected so I checked SETTINGS<WIFI and there was no connections, the little icon just kept spinning and spinning, so then I toggeled it off and on, no luck, turn airplane mode on and off still no luck, I even toggled of my mobile data no luck.
    I preformed a reboot, (held both lock and home button together) and checked again, NOTHING.
    I then turnt it off for 10 mins ( held lock button slid red icon across) and the phone got colder and then the wifi started working again.
    then last night it did it again, I have taken the phone out of its case and changed the charger(just incase these were affected it), I then tried everything again, it helped but not for long, tonight it has done the same thing so I thought nothing of it, il just do what I had previously done,
    BUT NO! not even resetting network settings helped, neither did erasing all data, neither did placing the phone into restore mode, restoring via itunes and then setting the phone up as new, just incase the backups contained software glitches causing the wifi not to work.
    I have been screen shotting the phone in and out of charge showing no wifi connections are showing for proof for when I take it to the apple store thursday (everyother day was fully booked).
    Being that my phone still is covered by apple care, Ive got proof that it is defective/tempermental(incase it starts working again and then stops) and obviously they can have a look at it, take it apart or whatever i dont care I want it fixed! but will they replace it?(the whole phone) and also will it be for free as ive still got apple care warrenty and it is hardware problems?
    ALSO i never had any problems with 5.1.1 so I hope if i get a replacment it will be 5.1.1 as I wont update until 6.0.1 is stable enough

    *also, i have just reset all settings again and my wifi connections have appeared! this is taking the P*** now apple sort it out!

  • My battery is getting drained in two hours after getting hot. What's the solution?

    My battery is getting drained in two hours after getting hot. What's the solution?

    Do you mean your iPhone was exposed to high temperature and now the battey life is very short?  If so, take it to an Apple store genius bar and have the techs check the battery and see if it needs to be replaced.  Lithium-Ion batteries are very sensitive to high temperature so there may be damage to your battery if it got very hot.

  • My Iphone gets hot and wont hold a charge for more than 8 hrs

    My Iphone 5c gets hot even when i dont have a protective case on it but it is worse when it is charging. The battery will only hold a charge for at most 8hrs, i have taken it into the store and they always say nothing is wrong with it. I find that hard to believe since my old iphone that was 2 years old lasted longer. I have already turned my backlight down and turned off notifications. Any ideas?

    Charging has always been recommended without an iOS device in a case...many of those do not allow heat to dissipate.
    Turn down screen brightness, turn off things you don't need, like Bluetooth if not being used, change the Mail push timing so it is less frequent...all things that use energy should be stretched out to save battery time.

  • I have a iPhone 5 on orange and my iPhone keeps getting no service when it seems to get hot. How do I get my service back as I need to check my text messages and also people I know are trying to reach me

    Every time it gets hot it seems my service goes and I really want to know why?

    Your phone should not get hot.  Bring it in to Apple for evaluation.  You may have a defective battery.

  • Why does my macbook pro get hot

    Why does my Macbook pro get hot while I am only on my email account?  This is a recent change.  It gets too hot too put in my lap.  Is it a battery issue.

    Open Activity Monitor in the Utilities folder.  Select All Processes from the Processes dropdown menu.  Click twice on the CPU% column header to display in descending order.  If you find a process using a large amount of CPU time (>=70,) then select the process and click on the Quit icon in the toolbar.  Click on the Force Quit button to kill the process.  See if that helps.  Be sure to note the name of the runaway process so you can track down the cause of the problem.

  • Late 2007 MacBook Pro 17" lost all sound and gets hot!!

    So my late 2007 17" MacBook Pro has been acting up. Not only has it been slow but also...
    1. It gets really hot! Fans running at 6000 rpm according to IStat Pro and fan control is not helping.
    2. It crashes. Every time I try to edit video or do photoshop, the fans start blowing, it gets hot, freezes and crashes very quickly.
    3. All my sound is gone. I get the Apple chime when I start it up, but my music and any video online gives me no sound.
    4. Once in a while I get a distorted line across my screen.
    Any ideas what could be my problem? I downloaded SMART Utility and it told me my hard drive is failing. So I'm in the midst of replacing it. However I doubt that will solve all my problems. Or will it?
    I also discovered that one way to regain the sound I would just have to reset my PRAM, which I did and it didn't solve anything. Therefore I found that it could be that my logic board backup battery is dead? How do I know for sure?
    Any other thoughts?

    When I read "crash," "distorted line across my screen," "it gets really hot," and "2007 17" MacBook Pro," the first thing that comes to mind is logic/graphics board. Visit your local Apple Store, and see if they can validate this suspicion or not. The SMART utility reading usually precedes a drive failure, but it's hard to conclude what's happening here.
    In the meantime, make sure you're completely backed up. If you don't back up, purchase an external HD, and back up with SuperDuper. Preserve your machine by running things at lower temperatures (under 160•F), and keep an eye on iStat.
    Oh, and tell us the problem when you know.
