It is possible the RB411 boards that you got has some problem and that why it stops working with the R5SHPn card. Try to put the card into different RouterBoard and check again.
For the faulty RB411 boards please contact RMA.
- Every RB411 with a R5SHPn connected to a 24 Volt POE we have tested has resulted in the RB411 burning out. We have tested more than a dozen (new - out of the box).
If you perform some google searches, you will find this appears to be is a common problem.

- Every RB411 with a R5SHPn connected to a 18 Volt POE we have tested has worked. We have tested more than a dozen (new - out of the box).
-Every R5SHPn mini PCI card works in a RB433 with 12 Volt, 18 Volt POE and 24 Volt POE. Even if the R5SHPn was in a RB411 that burnt out during the time the mini PCI card inserted.
I will be contacting my distributor for an RMA/exchange on the new RB411 boards that have burnt out (about two dozen). I will also be exchanging about 150 new 24 Volt POE injectors for 18 Volt POE injectors.
Note: Mikrotik changed some specification capacity capabilities on the Mikrotik documentation for the RB411 and R5SHPn. The original Mikrotik documentation did not state the RB411 mini PCI power availability and the original Mikrotik documentation for the R5SHPn did not state the power draw requirements. If you look at the newer Mikrotik documents, the RB411 clearly states it can not supply the wattage needed for a R5SHPn mini PCI card. The total wattage is 1 watt higher than the RB411 capability (as noted in newer Mikrotik documentation).
The newer Mikrotik documentation for the R5SHPn has an additional line stating:
Power consumption - Up to 10W at maximum power
10 Watts is a friggen huge power draw to generate 29dBm .8 Watts (point eight watts). That would mean the card draws over 9 Watts to generate .8 Watts in RF energy. Additionally, my measurements of the R5SHPn mini PCI card were less than 1/2 of what Mikrotik states in the documentation.
I suspect two things:
-1, the R5SHPn has a peak draw of less than 5 Watts.
-2, the on-board power supply of the RB411 utilizes an insufficient capacity linier voltage regulator. As input Voltage increases from 12 Volts to 18 to 24 Volts, the RB411 on-board linier voltage regulator becomes unstable under load. The total Watts the RB-411 on-board voltage regulator can handle at 24 volts is about 1/2 (half) of what it can handle at 12 volts. The difference between 12 Volts and 24 volts is just dumped as heat through the RB411 on-board voltage regulator.
In summary - in my opinion - - - NEVER use a 24 Volt POE on a loaded RB411 (use 12 or 18 Volt POE - only).
Can anybody including Mikrotik please check and verify my findings - thank you
