Today I'm using freezer blocks under both the modem and router, seems

Are others experiencing hardware failures? If so, are there better
solutions?
Yes, a fan.

Actually, I probably meant "No, a fan." I'm not experiencing that
problem, but, if I were, I expect a fan would solve it.

A fan built in the device itself, sure. Like with PC cases, CPUs,
etc..., but these are passively cooled. I'm not sure an external fan
would make that much difference, I'm not sure if the air flow would get though the casing.
It's not something I've really experienced before.

Some people used a carton of cold milk to keep their ZX81 16K ram
packs cool.
Surrounding ambient rarely gets as high as 20 C. Today it is 32 C,
inside the cupboard with door open is 33 C.

33 shouldn't have caused any problems. What do the device specs say? I'd expect at least 40!
