Abstract: Disclosed is a compact electronic device configured to efficiently manage air circulation and prevent overheating. The device features an innovative cooling system comprising a fan module within a uniquely structured housing that includes a base portion, an inner casing, and a removable top cover. The inner casing features strategically placed windows that direct drawn airflow over specific power supply components, enhancing cooling performance. The enhanced cooling is also provided by an air gap formed between the base portion and the top cover, as well as sidewall intake paths of varying widths adjacent the windows. These features work together to draw in and distribute ambient air effectively across heat-generating components, leveraging negative pressure created by a fan module. The result is a highly efficient cooling mechanism for compact devices such as wireless access point configured to plug into electrical outlets.
