Router Fan: Cooling solution for my Linksys ADSL modem






Just wanted to put up some pictures of my router fan. I was having alot of problems with the router locking up at least once a day because of overheating since it was sitting inside a cabinet. I've made up a little fan stand thing using a 120mm fan, 4 long screws, an old fan cover and an old motorola 6v phone charger. I was going to use a 12v adapter because the fan's rated at 12v but it's far too noisy, and 6v makes the fan just gently push fresh air up into the modem without it sounding like a jet. Since making up the stand 3 days ago.. NO LOCKUPS!! router's nice an cool it's fantastic.
