Holy shiz nit. Now that is some serious overclocking, lmao!

So what does this really do? Should I be worried about overheating? (Seriously)

Wow man. I guess you got a new router model/type. LOL. LMAO, you should definetely put a nice heatsink on your router, maybe a VF-700 for the lights and whatever you like on the north and south bridge. I wish my router was a cool as yours. :lol:

Well, in the beginning I was trying to enable QoS on my router, which I finally did. I had to use some modded firmware (my router just happens to run on Linux!) and I was browsing around the endless settings when that caught my eye. I'm kind of scared to touch it, I don't want anything bad to happen, lol! I might get a few room fans and just have them blow on it while I 'overclock' it. It is actually a very average router, the Linksys WRT54G. It was literally the cheapest one I could find at Wal*Mart.

Yeah, I've got to have long passwords, greedy-ass neighbors...
