WRT160N cooling mod

My router was overheating when using the wireless N intensely and downloading, so I decided to help it cool by drilling tons of small holes in the lid. It works great for gaming now as well. Edit: Since this video I have drilled even more holes for additional cooling.

If you decide to do this mod, remember safety first! Be careful not to drill on or close to the screw holes, so the lid will reattach. I'm using it as a wireless access point with no Ethernet connections. It may still overheat with Ethernet traffic, so I recommend using it as only a wireless access point. Firmware: default.
