My new Shaw modem is noisy and hot

[QuantumBunk]

This sucks. It is hot all the time and emits a fan noise. So its obviously using more power. I had a trusty old Hiltron modem since 2015. It is silent, cool,  and I hardly ever had speed or any issues with it. But I moved. So with the move, Shaw says its time to ditch that old thing and get the new latest and greatest modem. It is called Ignite. I don't want a noisy modem. Anyone else have this ? How is this progress ? I want to return this thing.

I've had mine for almost 4 years now, and no problems... possibly a hardware defect? I'd give shaw a call and see if you can swap it out.

That's the old shaw blue curve or whatever it's called. It's hot that's for sure. But you can move it whevever.

 

I just switched my shaw phone to Rogers. It's fine except google doesn't work!!!

I dont like being that guy but i just don't like this thing Gonna phone them and ask what else I can get instead. My trusty old Hiltron was silent and never got hot. Worked from 2015 till 2 weeks ago.

 

I am afraid of putting papers near this thing. 

 

My new house has a Telus modem in it. Maybe I'll switch but Telus is always just more expensive

My modem is old and from shaw.

 

It's like 15 years old but my speeds are faster then supposed to be why I never upgrade.

A hot and bothered modem?  

 

Wish I could help, but I don't have the same model of modem, even though I'm on fibre.

Fan is busted; demand a new one!

Noisy and hot?  Sounds like my wife after 4 Vodka Mios

 

Try this, give it two cheeseburgers without pickles, a small fries from McDonalds a glass of water and an advil.  After that it's all up to you but I'd stretch first
