Tips to Help Prevent Modem Overheating

To keep your modem cool and running smoothly, please follow these guidelines:

  • Set up the modem in a vertical position whenever possible. If a vertical setup isn’t an option, try to keep it as upright as you can.
  • Keep the modem out of direct sunlight.
  • Don’t place any equipment on top of or beneath the modem.
  • Ensure there’s plenty of space around the modem for proper airflow.
  • Avoid placing the modem in enclosed or warm areas, such as closets, cabinets, or tightly packed shelves.

Keeping your modem cool helps maintain a strong and consistent connection.
