Why does my 5G connection keep resetting on my Max BR1 Mini w/ Wifi?

I’ve been parking on the SAME spot on my driveway for the past 3-4 weeks and my internet (5G and Starlink connections) have been working. But this week, my T-Mobile 5G connections will NOT stay up, it just keeps resetting. And the modem does NOT see my Starlink connection on the WAN port and the MobileMustHave PoE adapter - it says “Cable not detected.” I’ve changed the Ethernet cable.

NOTHING’s changed on my side, either physically or logically (no settings changes), except for a firmware upgrade to v8.5.2, which Peplink asked me to do in helping to solve the issue.

Has my BR1 gone bad already?

why dont you do the most simple thing and reboot into your previous firmware and observe?

It happened with v8.5.0 and Peplink asked me to update to 8.5.2, to no avail.

Note though. I turned off the router for 30 mins and the connection is now persisting. Could this be heat related? I leave the router on ALL the time.

these are rated for 149 deg F I think. Wha is the temperature in the vehicle/area its installed? Whats the temperature of the device? Do you have an IR gun or FLIR?
