I have a Linksys WRT54GS router that has run out of available LAN ports, so I'm going to add a Linksys switch to the mix. At the same time, I'm upgrading my cable modem to a Linksys brand. I want to stack these, as I really don't have desk space to lay them out flat. I'm concerned about the heat that stacking will cause. Any ideas or how to's ? Obviously a fan would help, but as I mentioned, desk space is at a premium.

I thought about getting a Linksys modem/router combo, but I'm told the wireless range/performance will not be up to that of my WRT54GS.

You need thermaltakes new watercooling kit for network switches. The radiator *should* fit under your desk. I think it has like an adapted auto-radiator fan to keep the things cool.


On the serious side...it should be fine. I have a wrt54g sandwiched with a toshiba cable modem and something else...they aren't even meant to be stacked but they are fine.
