Periodic Inspection and Cleaning
To reduce the harmful impact of environmental dust and debris, we recommend regularly inspecting and cleaning the router’s external surface. Specifically, the frequency of examination and cleaning should depend on the severity of the environmental conditions. However, we propose performing this maintenance at least once every six months. Moreover, part of the cleaning process includes vacuuming the router’s air intake and exhaust vents.
Keep in mind that sites with persistently high ambient temperatures and significant amounts of dust may require more frequent preventative maintenance cleaning. Therefore, if your environment poses these challenges, consider increasing the cleaning frequency to ensure optimal performance.
