Asus RT-BE88U SFP+ non-functional

Atmos-o
Level 7

Every port seems to be functional.The SFP+ port at first used to work. But now it's non-functional or sometimes on a rare occasion connecting to the port, the LED comes on but turns off soon & connection cuts off. 

The port itself is quite hot to the touch, same with the module inserted. When an RJ45 cable is actually inserted and left there, it gets incredibly hot. So I assume it's an overheating issue. I've used WAN SFP+ on another router & has never gotten anywhere near this hot. 

My window for return is closing in soon & will likely just return it & not bother with this if it can't be resolved.

I have SFP+ ports on a Netgear Switch, TP-Link DECO BE95, and AT&T Gateway BGW320-500.  It gets too hot to touch with bare hands/fingers so I use an oven mitt...
