Navigate to and switch from performance to schedutil or ondemand . This reduces voltage and frequency when idle, dropping temps by 10–15°C.
The (distributed by Quantum Fiber ) is a high-performance Wi-Fi 7 device that has recently gained significant traction in the OpenWrt community. While the hardware is powerful, users often report the device running "hot" due to its intensive Wi-Fi 7 capabilities and internal fan noise. Hardware Overview & Capabilities
Do not leave your fan to chance. Make sure you install thermal management utilities through the OpenWrt package manager ( opkg ). Ensure your build properly loads the fan driver mapping to /sys/class/hwmon/ . You can create a custom script or cron job to force the internal fan to run at a low, continuous speed (e.g., 20–30% minimum speed) to prevent heat soak before the processor begins throttling. 2.
