Problems watching TV on hAP ax2

RouterOS Beginner Basics
1

Hi guys. My second problem with Mikrotik routers seems to revolve around heating, or so it seems (to me):

So, the router in question is installed. Android TV is connected to ether4 port. In about 15 - 30 minutes of watching TV, the TV loses internet connection. If I go to TVs ethernet settings it still shows its IPs (both v4 and v6), but internet connection is gone.

Yesterday I found that the issue is solved (without any rebooting) if I just move the cable to ether2. After that it worked for the entire evening.

CPU temperature right now (system/health) is 56°C. (“right now” being in the morning without any serious activity)

In addition to the above, I also have:
ether5: RB260GSP, serving a mAP lite and a cAP lite
ether3: a linksys 5-port business level switch serving two PCs

Any suggestions on what might actually be wrong with my setup?

There is no screen on on hap ax2 … badda boom…

Noooo… you stole my joke…
That’s what I thought when I read the title…

Hi, nothing is wrong. Change your cable and the temperature is OK. Mine AX2 and AX3 have 60 degree under no load. My AX3 under load had 70 degree.

Without read the config?


Better suggest to use another device on ether4 on that moment for see if it work or not…

Are you suggesting it's just the one port that might be malfunctioning? Other than that, yes, since moving to ether2, there have been no issues with watching TV.

I wonder if ether5 will have similar issues since there will be a TV connected to that one as well...

Do you think that the port is working fine and suddendly not workig is coused by config? :slight_smile:

Not on both, simply is the tv or the cable, and trying another device (with another cable) on ether4, if works the problem is the TV or the cable.
(pulling out the cable disable also TV ethernet)

The router in question replaced an ASUS consumer-level router which worked without issues. TV remains the same as does the cable towards it.

I would be guessing that the port in question overheats? But why then doesn’t ether2 do the same? I suspect they are of the same breed?
