Yeah it's helped a lot. I still think this router is a piece of junk and I think Netgear knows it. BTW this is my third replacement. I really feel like all routers need some sort of cooling fan.
There have been reports on this site of folks opening the router and finding that the heat sink grease was dried out and not working any more.

You're talking about thermal paste, right? I wouldn't doubt they use cheap everything. The fan solution works very well. The router stays cool all the time. I wish there were more options for cable router combos on the market. There are very few and they all suck.
