The stock vents are on the top AND bottom. Laying it flat blocks bottom airflow. Use a cell phone stand to mount the ONT vertically (RJ45 ports facing down). Hot air rises out the top vents faster. This reduces temperature by 8–12°C immediately.

The ZTE F670Y is a staple GPON ONT (Optical Network Terminal) supplied by many ISPs worldwide (Claro, Telmex, Telenet, etc.).
