Would appreciate an updated link for your excellent firmware (Asus AC68U)... Many thanks [email protected]

Blowing air in.

Update: I have since added an adjustable power supply for my fan (see top of thread) and lowered the fan voltage from 12v to 3v while still retaining the lower temps. So it seems the router doesn't require a lot of airflow to reduce the temps dramatically.

http://hackaday.com/2015/08/31/fcc-introduces-rules-banning-wifi-router-firmware-modification/ How to enforce this?

Separate power supply (AC adapter) from an old router. Output 12vdc 1A. Cut the 12v plug off, soldered the two connecting wires to the fan, applied shrink tubing to the connections. If you want something more elaborate get a universal AC adapter with selectable voltages from 1.5 or so to 12vdc.

Using dedicated 12v supply, uses 0.35a. No CPU overclock RF power at 50% using. HGG firmware at default settings. It was the CPU temp that got me concerned. Room temps at 81 Deg F. The big drop in temps with this low noise/cfm fan definitely shows me a lack of heat sink size or inadequate...

Donated what I could for the excellent work he/she performs.
