Surely, one of you fine folks has a better solution to attach a spare fan to an ISP gateway without damaging it? (sh.itjust.works)

This is definitely the better solution if your ISP supports it. ISP provider gateways are always garbage the auxiliary cooling may help but it will always have issues

To be fair depending on who we are talking about it's not inaccurate a lot of providers are just reselling someone else's service

I can’t disagree with that.

Unfortunately my ISP doesn't let me. I've had luck in the past improving stability with fixing the terrible thermals but this time around I'm trying to make a cleaner solution. Though I'd love to just run my own modem ideally.
