ok hello everybody,
im back from college and my desktop is in my room 90 feet from the hardline, so i bought a router and a usb adapter to pick up the signal. the signal speed is only at 54mbps MAX when good conditions align. max if i was next to it is 300, point being, its summer and temps this last week have been 95-100 and my adapter is overheating and making my connection go 18mbps max, with about 1.4k ms on a standard ping -t. since this was fine up until this week im contributing this lack of function to heat so what can i do? the bosy of the adapter is warm at most to the touch, yet if i pull it out and touch the usb plug it almost burns my skin. so im thinking i need to cool the core of my computer to prevent it from getting so hot. i could move it to the basment some 30 degrees cooler than my room, but ya know, room is nice. so without spending money is there any other option i have? would opening the case and putting a fan next to it liable to help drastically (enough to make the cleaning worth it?)
thanks, sorry for the wall
