I will post the picture later tonight.

What I did is a 5cm 12Vdc , a normal PC cooling fan mount on a small 'L' bracket. The fan is put a the back of the router and blowing against casing and that enough to cool down by 10degC.

The fan is modified to connect to a usb charger, I decide not to connect to router usb as it connected with external harddisk.
Bcoz I connected the 12VDC with USB charger, therefore it is running with low speed only.

Here is my DIY fan.



raynman, I read from Asus forum the broadcom chipset can be operating around 80-90degC. If it temperature too high the chip will throttle the performance. If you don't have alot users, I think it is properly okay since you don't problem till now.

I only considering put a fan, bcoz I won't find another WS800 at same price therefore would want it last as long as it can and I also happen to have a spare fan to lower temperature.

I had almost similar fan like which I brought in the first place to try however I find it too noisy. The pro it could cool down more than 10degC for my WS880, if not mistaken around 12degC lower.

Becoz my router is in living room, thus I found and use the noiseless fan shown in earlier picture.

For off the shelves solution, I would recommend you to think about putting a notebook cooling pad underneath th router.

CFM is the volume flow rate, I believe the smaller the diameter the higher the Pressure due to higher velocity generated to delivery the same amount of CFM need to deliever (volume flowrate Q = velocity V x area A).

Good, pls report back in after a months.

I will got it on tmr. Just brought it for RM350.
Yes, it is expensive, consider it started with rm200.

Offer me, see if I can't resist to sell it

Ok. Start bidding at RM220 😝

hi, may i know if anyone here got their WS880 with Xwrt running on Unifi?
If yes, may I know what is the setting?

I can't seem to get it running on unifi, I have goto IPTV and set for unifi-home and also tried manual, with Vlan tagging 500 & 600.

Thanks.

This is exactly what I did. It shown connected on status, but internet not working on lan or wifi.
I suspected Vlan tagging problem here.

Are you running with UNIFI on WS880 now?

Thanks.

I just flash from Xwrt to Tomato.
After flashing to Tomato, the router will not able to access webgui and seem like hanging there.

To fix, reboot the router into CFE via reset button and Reset NVRAM.
Then reboot it, you should able to login to Tomato webgui.

Regards.

May I know what Xwrt version is your Ws880 having now?
I was trying to setup Unifi on 380.65.

Now I have flashed tomato shibby, wanted to see if it is working or not with unifi. Tmr will able to feedback.

I would prefer Xwrt as it is less complicated.

Port no. 1 on BTU.
I have no problem to setup Unifi using Xiaomi mini with padavan firmware, but WS880, can't get it working.

BTU is Alcatel i240G-P.

Solved my problem.
Somehow everything work just by setting the LAN IP from 192.168.0.1 to 192.168.1.1 and I'm using manual IPTV with vlan 500 & 600.

Thanks.

Thanks for the info.
Will try to update it on next weekend.

Have you see this post?

I have this experience with the 2nd unit of ws880 for my parents.
Sometime on trying to get into CFE the unit went like bricked, cannot power on.

So what I did was using my adc adapter from xiaomi router to connect to ws880 and it will power on the ws880. Then I use back huawei adc adapter, it run without problem.

Not sure it is similar situation.

I don't think your router is fully brick, it is likely soft brick only.
The CFE mode is quite robust.

Try set to different IP, because unifi setting nvram, the router may not running at 192.168.1.1.

Last time I set my PC to run 192.168.0.X and also 192.168.1.x
to see if the router is in 192.168.0.1 or 192.168.1.1

The windows for connecting, from my imagination it is like only 30sec from the moment you see `Internet` light up.

So if you can't get into CFE after few trials, you have to repeat reset by plus power up.

Great that is working for you.

Thanks. Upgraded and no problem so far.
GUI didn't seem different alot, need to explore first.

Edited: added photo.
