Is it normal for the modem to feel hot and hot to the touch? Summer light decay causes high network speeds, three cooling tips tested in real tests
Optical modem overheating is not the same as router overheating; routers complain about lag, while optical modems speak about light degradation. My weak current box feels hot to the touch in summer, with light degradation climbing from -21.8 to -24.6, and the network speed dropping to 760 Mbps. I tested all three cooling techniques one by one. When the temperature drops, the light decay really returns, and you get a good idea of how much each move lowers....
