Not sure how accurate the ambient temp device I had since I can't find a more accurate one. I'll look for a laser temp device soon and re-test, so my data isn't the best. I just put the device right on top of the router and let it sit there.
Room temp where router is located: 68-70
Temp at IDLE: 80-84
Temp with only 5Ghz data flow: 90-94
I watched a DVD movie on my Mac Book Pro on 5Ghz streaming the video from a DIR-685 in AP mode, that was wired to the back of the DIR-857. Temp never rose above 94. I streamed the movie for about 1 hour before stopping. Mac Book was 3 feet from the 857.
I'll try and test 2.4Ghz and both this week if I can.
Anyone interested in a Laser Temp guage, check out Amazon.

Had a hard time finding a laser temp gun around here so I've ordered one from Amazon.com. Hopefully it will arrive by the end of the week. Until then, I won't be pushing the router too hard.
Syaoran:
My temp gun came in today. Ambient air temperature is 20C. The bottom of the router from sitting on a cool stone surfaced window ledge is 34C with very little traffic going through the router and nothing being used over either WiFi spectrum. I wouldn't call that promising as a starting point. I will post some more results when I can sit down and do some testing.
FurryNutz:
Please keep us posted when you get results for the items listed in the OP.
I ordered a gun today from Amazon and should be here this Friday. I'll play with mine this weekend and post more accurate results.
Can you post both temp numbers in C and F for us non C users? ::)
Thank you.
