Put a fan inside your passively cooled wifi router!

Electronics like this (if from a reputable manufacture) are designed to operate at ridiculously higher temps than any of our routers are likely running at. ;)

People sell these coolers because people are stupid enough to buy them.

That's funny... I've been using my Apple AirPort Extreme for more than a year now and I have never been anywhere near problems with it, that goes for both heat related and non-heat related problems. So yes you can just buy a good router and run that. Let the hate commence.

 

I've tried many "high end" routers. The Airport series are by FAR the most reliable i've used so far. Also the most expensive! lol

You didn't read what I said at all. NO YOU CAN'T not over here. ISP's block the use of your own router, its against the Terms of Service. They have the right to disconnect your internet service if you connect a non supplied router.

No. You cant just "buy a good router" because even good routers overheat.

I did read your post and I promptly responded to the first part of it.

You should of quoted that part then. Not the entire thing.

Sorry to completely necro this thread, but I did the same thing in my same router! Mine was a smaller fan though

 

I decided to do a couple other mods though...
