Hello,
I was wondering if anyone with an 891 router can comment on it's fan noise. I just got one, and the fan seems extremely loud to me. When I first boot it up, I hear a super loud fan noise, then it settles into a fairly loud hum. Any input is greatly appreciated!

Yes and this is normal. During power-up or boot-up the appliance goes into POST.
Wait `til you hear an ASR boot up and you'll mistakenly think that a 737 has just taken off next to you!

Yes, mine is fairly loud.
I bought the 891W for my home office and it is noticably louder than a standard 3750 PoE switch.
I have a 3750 Gig E with the largest power supply in the same room for testing. I don't have it on all the time, but the 891W is almost as loud.
It almost seems as if the fan bearings are going bad, or something is loose.
