(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.

Sorry about sending it accidentally.

I am still not used to the new google.
