Wireless router cooling?

I know this may sound silly but I have reason to believe my Belkin Wireless router is overheating. It has been constantly crashing and I noticed that the case was pretty warm. So I put a fan next to it and it hasn't crashed since. The firmware is as up to date as I can get it. Is there anyway to install a fan in such a small enclosure?

Where do you have it? Is it open to air?

It's sitting on an end table about 15 feet from my computer. Out in the open. When I lift it up however its very warm

Is it possible for it to stand on end?

Sadly the ends are rounded so no luck there. it has slots to be hung on the wall. will that help?

Being warm is probably fine. How "hot" is it? Hot enough to cook on?

We should probably establish what router you are actually talking about. What router do you have?

Well I ran it for a while and got it up to 100 degrees which was from a probe placed underneath it while on the end table. It's a Belkin f5d9230-4

How long is a while? if its like 10 minutes then its hot, but if its 2 hours then its understandable.

well i leave it on always and its at 95 . It only takes about 20 minutes to get up 100 with a lot of traffic

THen I would have to say that its normal. My linksys gets like that especially in close quarters with my external HDD and the modem on the other side.

I do have the modem right next to it. Would that help just to move it?

It would only make a little difference if it was directly next to it like less than a half inch away but even that would make a miniscule temperature difference.

I wouldn't worry about it at all. Remember, routers are miniature computers that have processors just like any other computer. They can and do get warm.

alright then. Thanks for the advice! Maybe it was just a fluke.
