Surely, one of you fine folks has a better solution to attach a spare fan to an ISP gateway without damaging it? - eviltoast

    Dare I ask what happens if the gateway doesn’t have this auxiliary cooling? Does it drop packets? Something worse?

      It likes to drop me from the middle of games when my same unit overheats :)

      Fuck Comcast and fuck the “Made with ❤️ in Philadelphia” team that designed this complete POS. It has a built in cooling fan (lmao) and still overheats! It’s a mostly empty modem that is almost the size of a shoebox, lol. It gets so hot that the adhesive on the bottom starts coming off.
