Awesome Kargo.

Awesome Kargo. 

It looks like the a$$ end of hard times.

Nothing wrong with that Kargo, looks good! Now you have joined the ranks of the official Router Mod Club, or RMC for short. lol

I noticed that after turning on the LT cooler that Kargos 857 went from triple digits to double digit temperatures. Was around mid 100F's to 120Fs, not hanging around low 90F's.

That's definitely a worth while improvement.  I have been playing around with mine and a laptop cooler.  It does stop the wireless from crapping out.  I have an RMA open but I might just consider letting it slide since support stated they were unaware of any temperature issues.  At least running at normal temperatures (with active cooling), it's reliable.

****ping out? LOL

Ya, I received Kargos in the mail Friday. I got to talk to his wife about his packing methods. 

Ya, I'm going to run this week with active cooling then turn it off and see if I exhibit anything abnormal with out cooling.

My packing methods???

That thing was packed like the last Mars rover that bounces in that big inflatable ball before coming to a stop.

Packing methods....pffft.

Ya, thats why they found some pieces of the mars rover landing ball all over the place. Oy vay.

Did it arrive damaged?  The router, not Curiosity.

Been working with and with out cooler sir.  On cooler since yesterday. Going to run for another day and then turn off cooler and test for a couple more days with out cooler.

So far been connecting at 2.4Ghz with out issues. It's the only wifi going in the house. I've turned OFF all other APs.

Oh, well how convenient!

So I'm back to testing your 857 using ALL modes on WiFi, Short GI and HT20/40 is OFF and disabled. Turned off the cooler. Game play was ok however not sure if H4 servers and players were not working well, had a couple of games where single was in the Red. Woke up this am and iPhone had a good connection from what I could tell.

I'm wondering if maybe you should be using ALL modes instead of specific G and N mode since you have a couple of walls in between and more distances to cover.

Temps went up to about 108F this morning before I left. Ambient room temp was 65. I'll turn on my 2 APs tonight or tomorrow and test again. Alone, this router is working very well.

I have BO2 waiting for me at redbox after work so I'll be on tonight.

I don't know about that ambient air temp at 65.  Really, who keeps their homes that cold?  Also, you have to run the router for a week.

There's no way I can turn off UVerse, I'd have a mutiny on my hands.  However I will try mixed signals.

I do and usually closer to 60F.    I'm from Canada though.  :p
