So, I've got an N56u, and I frequently download games and other large files from Steam and the like. I get a prettymuch perfect signal and a 270-300mbps sync speed on the 2.4ghz band. Running latest custom firmware from Russia, if that matters.
The issue comes when a transfer has been running full-tilt for a few hours; when I start another one I notice speeds drop dramatically (normally 2.7-3.5mbps, same as my internet, down to 700kbps). Sure enough, when I check the sync speed in Network and Sharing, it has dropped dramatically and is fluctuating considerably.
The reason I know this is overheating is that I can solve it by squirting compressed air into my router at both ends, which invariably returns everything to normal almost instantly.
Any suggestions, other than buying more compressed air cans? Thanks in advance...
