[PRESS RELEASE] Keep your modem cool and safe, enjoy undisrupted connectivity

By daomisyel -

In today's digital age, your modem is the unsung hero of your home. It powers your internet, enabling everything from streaming movies to remote working. But like any hardworking device, your modem needs some tender loving care to keep it running smoothly, especially when it comes to avoiding overheating.


Overheating is your modem’s biggest enemy. It can lead to connectivity issues, performance degradation, and even hardware failure. Globe At Home shares five ways to keep your modem cool and efficient:


Place Your Modem in Open Areas

● Ventilation is key: Ensure your modem is placed in a well-ventilated spot. Avoid confined spaces such as cabinets or drawers where airflow is restricted.

● Keep it uncovered: Do not place items on top of or around your modem. Covering it with books, sheets of paper, or decorative items can block airflow and trap heat.


Keep It Away from Heat Sources

● Distance from hot appliances: Position your modem away from heat-generating devices such as refrigerators and ovens. These appliances may raise the ambient temperature and affect your modem.

● Avoid direct sunlight: Sunlight may significantly increase the temperature of your modem. Place it in a shaded area away from windows to prevent overheating.


Minimize Electrical Interference

● Avoid other electronic devices: Keep your modem away from running electric appliances such as TVs, cordless phones and personal computers. These devices can emit electromagnetic interference, which not only affects performance but can also contribute to heat buildup.


Stability and Placement

● Use a stable, flat surface: Ensure your modem is on a solid, level surface. Avoid soft or uneven surfaces that may block vents or cause the modem to tip over.


Use the Original Adapter

● Power matters: Always use the original power adapter that came with your modem. It’s designed to deliver the correct voltage and current. Using a different adapter may lead to power fluctuations, increasing the risk of overheating.



By following these tips, you can protect your modem from overheating, ensuring that it operates efficiently and maintains a stable internet connection. Take good care of your modem to avoid charges for device replacement in case of damage.



"The modem is the gateway to WiFi connection. We encourage our customers to take care of it just as they look after their mobile phones and other devices that keep them connected. Being mindful of the location of the modem is key in preventing unexpected disruptions,” said Abigail Cardino, VP for Broadband Business at Globe.



Remember, a properly placed modem is a safe modem. For more tips on optimizing your internet setup and fixing connection issues, check out this video. For more information about Globe, visit https://www.globe.com.ph/.
