A wireless router dissipates heat through use of a unique heat sink having tines to increase the heat sink surface area. A housing includes lower vents and an upper vents to enable passage of an airflow. The airflow may be generated by one or more fans disposed within the housing interior. The heat sink is disposed in proximity to the upper vents and above a transceiver and an amplifier to thereby receive and dissipate heat. The wireless router is able to effectively dissipate heat generated by the transceiver and amplifier which allows for increased power output.
