I have a Linksys router and i stay in malaysia. Which is a hot country and humidity level is high. My router which i leave it on 24hours seven days a weeks gets too heated up all the time and spoils easily.. Any solution to this? is there any router out there with an internal cooling system ?

Heat + humidty = death for almost anything electronic. But to answer your question, it's not necessary to get a router with an internal cooling system. More practical solutions to this problem would be: get a dehumidifier for the room with your router (especially if it is the same as your computer), put a fan near the router, make sure the router is on a smooth hard surface and that it is not too near a wall, corner, or small enclosed space. Any of the previous solutions should immensely help your router or any other electronic device.

mount your router on a laptop cooler (similar to the ones of Cooler Master and Hiyatek). i'm sure there's one that's available in Malaysia. find one that has an external power supply.

I think you better leave the diagnosing problems to someone who knows what they are doing in the first place!
