Frequent Disconnection on 5G Home Internet
Just putting out my observations on disconnects on my 5G Home Internet -- hoping that T-Mobile’s engineering will take notice because I’m not sure if my support calls during the past several months h...
Okay I said I would update my prior post if it dropped the internet again, but guess what??? The fan fix solved the problem, or miraculously it fixed itself! I did find that merely sitting the tower on the fan didn't do anything, because the insides are constricted so it just pushed the air out the gap between the fan body and the gateway case. So I sealed that up with some curved plastic rims off of a frozen microwave meal tray. BOOM! Airflow established, and the case cooled down nicely. Tried to clean it up a little to look presentable, but hey it works.
Materials:
Noisy used 12 volt computer case fan
Dirty used 120vac to 9vdc adapter (makes the fan run quiet)
Feet for under the fan, and a 4.5 inch filter screen to not suck dust into the gateway
12dc automotive switch with LED indicator
Hot melt glue
Shrink tubing
Edges cut off of a Stouffer’s Lasagna microwave meal tray
More hot melt glue
Alcohol to clean off all the excess hot melt glue, LOL
