Hey Wallace, your concern is totally valid. Those temperature ratings matter because overheating can affect performance or even damage the equipment. High temps in an attic during summer can stress the switch, so it's smart to check if your setup is safe. If it’s too hot, you might need to upgrade the switch, improve ventilation, or consider a more robust model. Let me know if you want help finding alternatives!
Consider using a Unifi Industrial solution, though a more affordable switch would be preferable. It should be placed near the router, but you'd need to add extra cabling.
In short, the only choice left is to push the cable two stories up through the wall into the attic.
