MBX Mini - Standard operating temp

Hello,

I just got our demo MBX Mini for testing and it did not boot up. The power LED was Green and the Status was RED. I had to power cycle the unit several times before the router would fully boot.

Now that it is up and running (sometimes) it is very hot to the touch. WebGUI is reporting 69.0 °C / 156.2 °F at idle. This seems really hot to me. Is this normal for this unit?

The temp shown is average for the MBX Mini in my experience. This is the temp of the cellular modules and those little beauts run hot.

It will take about 4 mins to boot up and connect over cellular. If you have intermittent booting I would double check the power supply first, maybe plug it into the other DC input.

Thank you, Martin!

Noticing 70C idle (no connected devices) on our MBX Mini in a ~22C room.
This doesn’t leave a lot of thermal overhead for less ideal deployments (equipment racks, outdoors, etc)
