Here's a tip for anyone in a hot area right now experience shitty internet. This may be your problem.

Post Body

Poorly designed modems and/or routers have no heatsinking on the main chip and no way to vent heat. See these pics I took the other day at a client's place:

I suggested getting a shitty netbook cooling fan for a few bucks and sticking it on there. Something like this (note I am not using a referral code or anything it's just the first one I found that looked appropriate). If it were me though I'd stick one of those heatsinks on that you can find on old (and crappy) AGP video cards, then use the dremel to cut some vents in.
