It does get hot though
Isn't "software AP" just... software? The question is, where's the software?
This affects a lot of USB dongles, and some have been known to cook themselves. Some people have modded theirs (regardless of brand) to add vents and/or tiny heatsinks.
How about cutting a hole in the top housing to let the heatsink protrude? That would give it direct access to outside air while allowing you to hold everything in place.
The question is... what do you use to cut that hole? Pretty small piece to work with and you'd need something sharp or powered. Perhaps a dremel?
Sure. The ramsink actually gets warm/hot pretty fast and if you can tell, I had to attach it through the top of the housing after I snapped it back together since the fins stick out too much.
The internal wifi on my wife's laptop went out.
