A few months ago I installed an EAP225-Outdoor on a PVC pipe about 4 feet above my mobile home roof. This access point is situated in the center of a rectangular 5 acre property and works great to provide connection to 8 IP cameras. However in the last month I've noticed when the outdoor temperatures exceed 100°F this access point refuses connections and eventually drops existing connections. During this condition the local device webpage takes minutes to load, or just doesn't load at all. Memory/CPU are at normal low levels.

My guess is the chipset is overheating and throttling down or reducing power to prevent further heat.

I tried to find a way to read chipset temps over SSH but can't find the utilities to do so.

I'm not really having an alternate location that is not in the direct sunlight to mount this access point. Mounting lower so that it's behind the building compromises the signal for the IP cameras on the other side of the property.

I'm wondering about a small shade like a reflective plastic sheet or box??? This is where I need your ideas. A project box with metallic tape or mirrors might work or might mess up the signal because of metallic elements. Anyone have any experience with this? Or is this router not suitable for sunlight?

Thanks
