    How do you keep your router from getting dusty?

    Dust it... lol

    Have they not invented a flying duster roomba robot yet?

    ... Hard work never killed anyone but why take a risk?

    I don't. I end up wiping my lab down with a micro-fiber once every other
    week or so. I usually blow the inside of my router out, worried about heat dissipation if it's dusty in there.



    ... Fax is the most popular method of communication.

    I bought a couple of HEPA air purifiers for my house, thought about
    running one near my homelab - but the last thing I need is more fan
    noise. :)

    I've worked in datacenters for decades, we have pretty good negative air systems in there that help to keep it dust free, but outside of that for my home I schedule about an hour or 2 of downtime maintenance each month around midnight (Habit from my career) to just clean, take apart, vaccum/blow out as needed, and then get in with q-tips and cloths if there's a particular nasty area. I have a couple racked servers and routers and switches in my home lab and way too many raspberry pis. And a very sheddy german shepherd, always finding his hair in places he's never even set foot in.
