Experts Say Router Disconnection Is Related to High Temperature

Although today's Central Meteorological Observatory has lifted the high-temperature red warning for several days and reviewed the recent high temperatures, many citizens have expressed their frustration. People are noisy, even electronic devices are also "not good", in recent days, there are many users of the reaction, the original router used well at home, recently began frequent disconnection, direct use of cats is all right, it is certainly a router problem. "My home's router is in a small room. Although there is no air conditioning, ventilation is still very good. I don't know why these days are often broken." said Ms. He, who lives in Xiacheng District.

On this topic, many netizens have come to the rescue. For example, fans are blown against the router with an electric fan, or the router is placed upright, or the housing of the router is taken out, and so on. More users have also bought a cooling fan specifically, and have been under the router.

So, does the disconnection of the router really relate to the hot weather? Is the user's heat tricks scientific and feasible?

On this issue, Prof. Wan Jian, Dean of the School of Computer Science, Hangzhou Dianzi University, stated: The argument that routers will be disconnected due to heat dissipation is certain. Any electronic device is used, high temperature weather, and the heat dissipation of the routing itself is not smooth. Directly affect the chip and component operation. As for the cooling methods provided by netizens, they are all relatively effective and have no impact on routers. Just, "to cool the router, do not open the box top shell, so that the route 'runs' easily lead to a short circuit."

"Open the router case, if you accidentally touch the phone, or something with static electricity will cause the router to short circuit." Professor Wan explained. He suggested that it is better to reduce the time spent on the Internet and turn off the router to allow it to cool naturally.
