I have a modem/wireless router from Centurylink and I have always noticed it is very warm, esp. during heavy usage. At times we can have 2 computers, 2 televisions, and a tablet or two all drawing on it at the same time for internet. It would be very easy for me to rig a pc cooling fan on it to cool things down. I seem to have a large box of fans. Would there be any advantage to cooling this thing, other than possibly extending its lifespan? (I do own the thing, so replacing it would be out of my pocket)
I do get random disconnects and sometimes my connection seems to bog down. I have no way of attributing those things to the modem, or if it is normal of the service (or lack there of) of my ISP. Just wondered if heat can affect these devices?
