Product mAP Lite - Very HOT  [SOLVED]

Tue Aug 22, 2017 7:38 pm

Good morning everyone,

I just purchased 2 mAP Lite (https://mikrotik.com/product/RBmAPL-2nD) for two rooms in a small hotel.

The "problem" is that the small routerboard is very very hot, I understand:
- That this is normal because of its small size?
- Affect the useful life of the hardware?

Regards.

CPU frequency is not at default setting? How do you power them?

The CPU frequency is factory default.
They are connected both by POE and by usb that the routerboard brings. With both it gets too hot.
I have also noticed that it costs a lot to upload youtube videos for example. Being one meter from the device, it is not able to upload a youtube video to more than 480 quality without cuts.
I find it a very unstable and bad product.


Regards.

i'm using a couple of them and i'm not complaining. very good product. You don't need to power through both ports. only one is enough.
also check this thread : viewtopic.php?t=104540

I removed the magnets of mine.

Then it is solved by removing the magnets? Then what kind of product are we buying? If you have to remove them to make it fine I do not understand.

You don't have to remove the magnets. The previous poster referenced an old issue in the first production batch where the magnet could cause ethernet packet loss when attached to a ferrous surface. It only affected a few units, and has been fixed a long time ago.

The usb can be used for a 3G dongle? Or is the usb just to power the router?

Is router has a default configuration? Are there default firewall rules? What mode Quick set is imposed? AP, Wisp? He should not get hot
No. It is configured accordingly, no default configuration or fast configuration. Optimized in packages, in configuration, does not exceed 1% of CPU and is burning. Both units, but I understand that it will be normal by its size?

They just run warm. It's not a problem.
