    No, the fan will blow the packets all over the place, which is fine for UDP, but any TCP/IP connection will suffer. Place the fan in front of the router so that the blades will catch any dropped packets and throw them back into the datastream.

      uh, hi. If you place the blades in front of the router, it will start chopping the packets before they even reach. You need to use an bladeless fan

        Alright so I’ve now got a router using cell signal hardwired into a Roomba randomly roaming the halls so everyone gets shitty connections all the time.

        No need, that’s why we have the Don’t Fragment bit in the IP header
