Surely, one of you fine folks has a better solution to attach a spare fan to an ISP gateway without damaging it? (sh.itjust.works)

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

Gets really hot and speeds/stability decrease.

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.
