higher performances modem = using higher power = generate higher heat,
is normal as long as u place ur modem is good air circulation area, it shouldnt be any problems to used 24/7,... if u worry, u could always get a cooler pad for laptop, and places the modem on top the cooler pad, or places your modem near window, or below ceiling fan,..

Heat also depend on your location. If you use your modem in area where the line is weak, the modem will use more power to transfer the data and produce more heats.
That's always happen to me when I use my modem at kampung. But not much heat if use at KL.
Here is a sample for my modem
Yellow signal (2 bar)
RSSI: -81.01dBm
CINR: 11.13/8.83(R3/R1)dB
TX power: 6dBm - 9dBm
I move it, Red signal (1 bar)
RSSI: -85.42dBm
CINR: 6.84/3.77(R3/R1)dB
TX power: 17dBm - 20dBm
many thanks bros,
i did as bro chuah mentioned n place my modem near the notebook fan cooler, the heat is significantly reduced, now really no worries leaving it overnite
---bro nordingh
does the RSSI n TX Power increased value indicate the modem is working extra to capture signals?
Added on February 19, 2012, 6:24 pmand one more thing...
for those who have the ridiculously over 10Mbs download speed on maxis
does that depend mostly on area?
or its because you guys tweaked your modem capabilities in mdma?
i tried the 7.2Mbps n 21Mbps modem, both speedtest yield 4-5Mbps max oni...
checked the band config in mdma n the default setting i found was at -custom -2100
