wrt54g fan mod?

[SleepWalkerX]

my wrt54g reboots whenever we have a lan with like 4 or 5 computers connected. last time the rebooting was unbearable. it happened with alchemy 6rc5 firmware and dd-wrt v22 prefinal2. i realized it was overheating when i felt it and that's what was causing the reboots. instead of just sticking a fan on it, i was wondering if i could mod it with a fan, but i'm a noob. has anyone done this or is there a guide?

I believe Wolf, a dev on the Sveasoft team has added fans to some of his WRTs. Send him a PM and see what he says.

I did it on my freinds, just screwed an 80mm onto the bottom and spliced the power cord.

It would be the most effecient to dremel the vents out and insert the fan there.
