I changed ISP, the new one told me that it would take like a week to send me the credentials to use my own ADSL router 🙄, in the meantime I had to use the cheap-ass one they provided.
The new service crashed like after five minutes of use, after some some back and force with the technical support unsuccessfully I notice that the router was extremely hot when the connection crashed and normal when it started to work again.
It has not any cooling system, and being in the middle of the summer didn’t help either.
So…. I tried to put an ice tray from the freezer on the router and it worked. To be “safe” I put a plastic bag between them to avoid any condensation dripping onto the device.
Ha! Reminds me of a job I worked at years ago. Corporate saw it fitting to change all the thermostats for the air conditioning to be controlled remotely by them… in a different state, with different weather…
In the winter it would stay cold and they would never turn the heat to an appropriate temp.
I took a hook and installed it above the thermostat. In the mornings I would fill a plastic bag with ice and hang it on the hook.
Too cold? Move the bag closer to the thermostat. Too hot? Move the bag further away.
An ice tray to cold down a router.
