Might be because of path. Try specifying full path for mysqldump.

I think the outside fan is sufficient. I went the heatsink route just to give a little extra cooling.

I am planning on buying a couple of used Linksys E3000, load DD-WRT v24 Mega load on it, and use it for VPN PPTP for my small business as well as my home. After reading both your articles on cooling issues and resolution, I have decided to follow your first article and install a cooling fan and rubber feet once I receive my router.

Question: is the outside cooling fan just enough to keep it cool or do you still recommend opening the case and install 2 small heat sink on the two chips as well as installing the outside fan? Thanks for the article and your opinion.

Thanks Mike!, I just picked up a E3000 and will be flashing it shortly with DD-WRT. Good to know about the heating problems!

It doesn’t, actually. The router sits on top of the fan. You could use some adhesive pads or small screws if you wanted, but be mindful of the PCB if you decide to use screws.

good solution, How did you get the fan to stick to the bottom of the router? did you use screws that screwed into the router bottom?

I have the fan blowing up. This blows air up through the holes in the bottom of the router, and it comes out through the top (under the “ridge”) of the router.

very cool. have been thinking about E3000 but heard bad things about heat issue. One follow up — the external fan just sucks the air downward and blow it down towards ur desk?

since heat rises and u really don’t look at the face of a router anyway, would the heat issue be partially mitigated if u just flip your router face down allowing the heat to rise through the vent holes?
