Hi FurryNutz, could you pass me the model for that cooling pad? For some reason when I click the link you posted it opens Wallmart Mexico webpage and not the item itself.

Also if you know of other cooling pads that could fit well and are not noisy, so that I could look for them in my country.

Thanks

[FurryNutz]

is the ONN model #: HYCF-6181-2
walmart number is 007217682

Other brands:
Audiopipe IBMFAN300X Nippon 15in Laptop Fan Cooler
Model#: IBMFAN300X

Enermax CP005 Twisterflow 17 Laptop Cooler
Model#: CP005

I don't know if these are quiet, the ONN is.

Hi.

I purchased the following item:
http://www.manhattan-products.com/en-US/products/9574-notebook-computer-cooler

It was at $6 USD via an online store in my country.

As soon as it arrives will test it with my DIR 827

Thanks

Kewl, keep us posted. Hope it works...

Hi Furrynutz.

After doing several tests with the cooler pad, I can tell that at least, the reported issues in this post are gone  so it seems that DIR-827 has a heat issue when doing several tasks or using max wifi speed.

I've not enabled the 5 GHZ band and other features like the USB media server.

I've downloaded like 8 GB at full speed without loosing my WiFi connection, the issue that randomly the speeds drop down to 10Kbs or lower remain, but the main issue of loosing connectivity is gone.

It's a shame that DLink  has a faulty router with the DIR-827

Hey thanks for posting back and glad the external cooling helped. Ya, I have passed this on to D-Link for review.

I presume that the 827 is the ISPs router? Did you get a different one or a new 827?

I have modified my 827, 857 and DAP-1533 and I recently bought a 835 and did the same thing. Still need to test that. If you keep this one or get another, keep the external cooling going or you could do the mod. Its very easy and unobtrusive.

Yes the 827 is from my ISP and is the main router.

I will keep the cooling pad.

Thanks and hope that Dlink take a closer look to those heating issues among several products.

Regards

Glad it working better for you.

Enjoy.
