I stumbled on this group today and think I'm in the right place.
I'm trying to replicate intermittent cable modem "drops" (what I believe may be heat related). I have a router, Linksys cable modem and a wireless Linksys router on my LAN.
The linksys profiles are stackable and I have done that, on top of my router. The cable modem sits in the middle. I've (yesterday) noticed the cable modem is hotter that the other two devices, so I unplugged all and let them sit overnight. Boot 'em all this morning, bang all is fine. Ten minutes ago the cable modem dropped again and yes, it was hot again...
I will stop stacking the device this way or put the cable modem on top and see how that works or mount them separately.
Anybody experience a "heat" issue like this before? The room has AC, well vented, etc. The temp in the house is 78 - 80 F. I think the operating temp for the modem is about 104 F, but my guess it was really hot to act ilke this.
(cooled down and booted now, so I can send this) ...sitting on top...
Thanks...
