Dear all,
I just installed my unifi today, kinda happy with the local speed except I was a bit shakehead when the TM installer told me it's ok to stack the alcatel fibre modem with the Dlink router since I have some space constraint. At first it was ok, until a few hours later (more than 8 hours I think) it got quite hot. Luckily I realised this and unstacked it and put it side by side.
So guys, is there any problem for the unifi modem to generate such heat ?

But last month TM guys changed mine to the ZTE which is standing type & has many ventilation holes, and no overheating problem with that. Not sure about those using the Alcatel fiber BTU. If it does overheat fast enough, you might just have to make more space for it and consider place it on top of notebook cooler fan.

QUOTE(rattan @ Jan 4 2012, 05:15 PM) Wow that looks like very cool. Very bling bling...  At first, I thought the blue LED was annoying but somehow after a while I can live with it, lol. QUOTE(xiiao2norm @ Jan 4 2012, 05:19 PM) Wow.. yeng leh.. how much it cost for the fan..can i ask what is the d-link usb cable for.?? o.O I bought it from Sri Comp, the typical notebook/laptop cooler for RM11. It's powered by USB, so luckily the Dlink router has a USB port built-in  |
