Since lots of people are deploying managed Mikrotiks for customer routers. Have you run into this issue and/or found some workaround? I've set a static DHCP lease for the unit out to 365 days, presuming that at some point in a year, it will have a software update and reboot. From the users perspective though, the FireTV just shows on the screen 'Network Connectivity Lost, Reboot your router, then Contact your ISP'
I have a FireTV (not stick) unit for about a year that I only use for
testing streaming apps. I have it hardwired, and it seemed like every
time I went to use it, it wasn't working and I had to reboot it, or
disable/enable the interface on the mikrotik. After finally getting
some time to test with it, I found that it doesn't renew It's DHCP lease
at the half life, no matter what the Lease time is set to. It will just
happily expire the DHCP lease, then stop working. Now that I knew what
to search for, I found this single Forum post on the subject.
