@dbell The message suggests there is an issue with your wifi connection, try changing to a different channel.
In /etc/config/wireless you will have a section like this:
config wifi-device 'radio0'
option type 'ralink'
option variant 'mt7628'
option country 'US'
option hwmode '11g'
option htmode 'HT40'
option channel 'auto' <---------------------------
option disabled '0'
option device_mode 'apsta'
option op_mode 'preference'
Try changing to a static channel, channels 1, 6 and 11 are 3 common choices as they have no overlap.
You can use these commands:
uci set wireless.radio0.channel=11
uci commit wireless
service restart network
@CAP-33 Omega2+ is not that hot to burn your fingers. Your top output looks like a standard firmware, but it is possible that loadable modules can impact upon the load. Are you running Onion's latest firmware with no customisation? if not then this would be my first step, then see if this fixes the issue.
How are you powering the dock?
The best way to troubleshoot this is to bring everything back to standard. Standard firmware, powered from USB port of your computer.
If after this it is still very hot, I think it may be a faulty device.
@eblasband you can also reference the mechanical drawing in the Omega2S datasheet: https://github.com/OnionIoT/Omega2/blob/master/Documents/Omega2S Datasheet.pdf
@crispyoz Thanks for all of that. The docs link was indeed helpful.
I realize Omega uses a stripped-down Linux distro, but it's been donkey's years since I did any real work in Unix or even Linux , and never any Web development under them.
Now, off to learn more PHP... I can see it's superior for IoT, which is where I'm headed!
@cspensky take a look at this tread.

@tjoseph1 has a nice solution
@DMKitsch I don't use LuCI but I do build my own image and include libiwinfo and I do not have this issue.
I wonder if you have updated the feeds prior to building your firmware.
