Temperature Range of modem?

Yes, that's reasonable. Thank you.

You may have a slightly shorter life of the modem, but who's to say?
Unless
you have some kind of stress-test program for the modem (which may shorten
the life even more), you'll never know if it lasted as long as it should
or
not. As Paul said, if it's working, it ain't broke. Do you see any
degradation of service since this incident? Does your VOIP device still
work
OK? If "no" and "yes", then run it until it breaks.
The temp range listed in the modem specs is more than likely the ambient
temperatures that it will be safe to run it in, not the temperature
emanating from it.

Yes I did. There are information about Temperature Range for the Cisco
EPC3000 in modem specification - that's very strange.
Perhaps Cisco have some detailed specs for this modem, but it not
available
on their website for customers.
I want to know does this may have some effect on hardware in the future.
Any
help, please?

Thank you.

There is no temp data available in the downloadable docs. Either
user manual, or product brochure.

If the cable modem is still running, then it is not broken.

yes, but this does not mean that electronic components do not depend on
temperature; an overheating makes very strong impact on electronic chips.

They don't have fans to pull/push the air around. Just convection.
Excessive heat kills electronics. The unit was designed to operate
within its operating temperature range AND without the ventilation paths
blocked (otherwise they wouldn't have bothered providing any holes in
the case).

Good lord, why are you asking this here? What does this have to do
with XP? You did notice the letters X and P before the workd hardware
in the group title, right?

Maybe Twain can help him out with a registry patch.

Indeed. Ask in a Hardware newsgroup. Hang on! This *is* a hardware
newsgroup.

Instead, just ignore our resident mentally retarded 13 year old ****wit.

true.

but the assumption are
that all digital and electronic
equipment will be operating
in a controlled and protected
environment.

if it needed "special"
considerations, like to
it to be in a cold room
then this would be a
primary requirement
noted in the documentation
and even on the unit
itself.

if the unit was engineered
in some manner that it
would overheat then they
would have designed it
with heat sinks or fans.

however, it is not to say
that the product isn't faulty
and you have noticed some
thing that correlates to
temperature.

I have a broadband router
that after a few months it
started to become unreliable.

after a few hours of operation
it simply failed to perform
though it seemed to be fine
and the lights blinks, etc.

after I couldn't put up with
the unreliable performance,
I simply got a different one
and everything with my net
working has been ok for the
past couple of years.

so if you are also getting
intermittent problems with
you unit,

then it is simply a piece of
crap and you need to get
it replaced.

it is highly likely that the
manufacturer is aware
of the problem you are
having because you may
not be alone.

but it is financially beneficial
for the company to keep
these issues confidential
and won't do a recall unless
the unit catches fire.
