I had a situation like this with a Dragonwave backhaul a few years ago. Every time the OAT dropped below ~~ 25° it would drop offline. I found I could get it to "live" by wrapping the ODU in foam insulation. Helped me isolate the problem, and was able to schedule an ODU replacement. bp On 1

I would try new RJ45s on both ends. If that's not it, then swap it and RMA if it's still under warranty. On 12/19/2016 9:35 AM, Kurt Fankhauser wrote: I have a 3.65ghz 450 AP that was running flawless for over 6 months until we got our first really cold spell last week, temps dropped to near 0
