Cooling Pad for Router

[erik8thw]

I found that the internet speed is affected because of overheating router. Can I use a cooling pad to cool my router all day? The cooling pad is NOTEPAL U STAND mini and the router is TP-W8980.

Router doesn't care what cooling method, it just wants to be cool? 😀

Personally tough, I would open the router, vacuum it, and see if I can add heatsink to the big hot chips. Do you have a thermometer gun?

There are USB powered fans. If your router has a USB port, a fan on a flexible stalk will allow you to point it directly onto the hot areas.
