I manage a small number (19 units) of CCR1036 and only one PSU failure in 10 years now. The failed PSU was not on UPS.

My advice. Set it to minimum you can bare, but not 0.
If fans are not spinning, the temps will rise until reaches 60-65 I think.

If you are changing the default Winbox port hoping to be "stealthy", you are doing it wrong.
Just leave the darn port at default and setup good firewall rules/allow only whitelisted management IPs

Don't bother looking for a fix to your setup. hAP AC3 just sucks for some reason. Maybe they will fix it in a future RouterOS version.

Any time you open a port for some specific program, there is a chance it will end badly. But at least in the case of RDP, we know there are lots of vulnerabilities. Some patched, some not yet found and a lot of them with released patches but not applied. For example: https://nvd.nist.gov/vuln/detail...

1st: never ever open rdp to public.
Use a VPN or allow RDP port only for certain trusted static IPs or ddns

@sid5632 can you please tell what was the issue exactly? What does "CHR was stopping transmitting" means?

Well, expired license means you cannot upgrade ROS version. The router itself continues to work just as before. Support stated the same, nevertheless, I do not agree.
