Hello!



I noticed my new Hawking Technology's Hi-Gain USB Wireless-G Adapter (Model: HWU54D --

) gets hot after a long period of usage. I can't touch its base for more than ten seconds. Is it normal? I think it locked up this morning (only once so for a week since I bought it and installed it), and I had to disable it via Device Manager and re-enable. This was in a 75 degrees(F) room.



Other than that, this wireless USB adapter seems to work decently.



Thank you in advance. :)


My DLink DWL-122 mini-USB gets a lot warmer than I expected, but it doesn't seem to suffer from it.
