AirPort Extreme is giving “this device maybe overheating” status. The unit isn’t hot and is sitting on an open desk. How can I fix this?
AirPort Extreme 802.11ac Gen1
Question marked as
There is a stupid fix..
In airport utility click on edit.. go to the disk tab and turn off sharing. Update the settings.
This is assuming you don't have a disk plugged into your extreme.
The problem should go away.. if it happens again after a power down cycle.. turn sharing back on and update... same thing will happen.
It has nothing whatever to do with sharing.. it has to do with a bad sensor and the difference between a cold boot and hot reboot.
Post back if it does not work..
And start planning on replacement of the airport.
