I was skeptical, but a fan does seem to help
I was skeptical a fan would help anything but now I'm not. I installed an 80mm one and it does seem to increase speeds once the lower temperature stabilizes (a few hours after install). I only have ...
I bought this $17 UBS fan on Amazon. It's totally silent and I'd estimate the Gateway top went from 110 to 120 degrees to below room temp. It's cool to the touch now. My device drop outs so far have stopped.
In Florida it rains SO much it's hard to measure speeds. All over the map from 23 mbps to 85. It's not fast but so far meets my needs. Wi fi disconnections was the #1 problem with this Gateway and the new fan seems to have solved that.
So thanks for the great fan tip. The easy solution is usually the best solution.
