my router is hanging in the closet
temperatures are as low as 54/58 degrees celcius for the 2.4/5Ghz band.
i noticed that the cooling air ducts are located not in the best area's(top/bottom) but on the left/right.

since hot air rises we need to correct this situation
so how do you create an air flow from right to left

well simple
i got a leftover asus fan which i had from my p6t deluxe motherboard.
this is a 12v fan but since we only need minimal air flow 5v(usb) is sufficient.

the result, a match made in heaven
temperature dropped to 48/52 degrees which is a 6 degrees drop.

nice mod for the summer to come
