CM1150V orientation
Is there any restrictions on the orientation of this modem? Airflow? I wish to place it horizontally in my vented cabinet. Temperature runs between 85-90 degreesF. Cabinet space is 9" H.

Did you find any restrictions in the product documentation?
Visit http://netgear.com/support , put in your model number, and look
for Documentation. Get some. Read?

I know nothing, but I'd guess that any such restrictions would be
related to heat. If you blow more air at/through it than it would
normally move on its own by convection, then I wouldn't expect any
thermal problems in any orientation.
Whenever you blow air, you blow dust, so more attention to cleaning
would be appropriate.
I downloaded all the documentation that was available. Nothing in there. Checked for other "tuitorial" type documents and nothing surfaced. I have the CM500V and its constructio is nothing like the CM1150V - too bad. Like you I suspect it might be heat related - the faster the modem the more power required, etc. The pictures don't help but it looks like more open construction that the CM500V maybe for heat dissapation. Thanks for responding.
