Abstract
The disclosed wireless router may include (i) an enclosure, (ii) an antenna, (iii) a printed circuit board assembly, (iv) a radiative heat sink disposed between the antenna and the printed circuit board assembly within the wireless router such that the radiative heat sink is configured to shield the antenna from spurious emissions generated by the printed circuit board assembly, and (v) a fan disposed at a center of the radiative heat sink such that the fan is configured to cool the wireless router by circulating air within the enclosure rather than pushing air through venting in the enclosure. Various other apparatuses, systems, and methods are also disclosed.
