Default Local area connection but I can't get on the internet

By the way, you emailed this to me as well. I understand Google have
recently made it rather too east to accidentally tick a "Cc" box when
posting.

(It's also making you do double line spacing.)

The router puts off a lot of heat and it has no fan.


I used a 12 V power supply fan to make a custom fan.




So far so good.




Why a 12V fan - is it running from the router's own supply? (Is that

12V?)

The fan is running off a transformer. 120 VAC - 12 V DC.

I made a stand for it and mounted it.


Ah, I see. (I'd been concerned that running it from the router's own
supply would _add_ to the heat problem [like those laptop fans that run
from a USB].)

I save transformers from things I salvage.


You mean power supplies (a transformer only converts AC to AC).

A lot of times I will use it to power some battery powered devices if
portability isn't needed.


Good policy.
