If there are electronics on the outside of the home look to see if the
unit is in direct sun at the times of failure and if so put some shade
in front of it and see if it fails
if it does not the its a heat issue for the gear facing the sun.
I have seen this on CMMs and industrial switches inside outdoor
enclosures when the face the afternoon sun.
Heat = Death of electronic stuff outside unless protected or designed to
be in direct sun light on hot summer days.

Subject: [AFMUG] Riddle me this (fiber error)
Never seen this before, and my fiber crews are telling me it's impossible.
But I get intermittent FCS and Internal MAC errors on a fiber line to a house
when things get hotter during the day.
Then at afternoon and all through the night it's fine.
It's a gradual fade into suckyness with ping loss going from 1,2 -3 percent then
almost total ping loss, then fading back from that to no loss again.
The fiber crew has OTDR shot the line twice, including during the bad fade times
and see nothing wrong loss or light wise.
But I've replaced the electrical components and patch cable three times.
I've taken the equipment from the side of the house and plugged it into the
cabinet and no loss.
I can't help but feel like there is something wrong with the fiber line, but
I've never seen it do anything like this.
There is construction nearby, but this line is in a conduit and should have been
effected by that.
And what would cause this kind of fade in/out anyway?
Again, the fiber team says it's fine and swear nothing like this could ever
happen with fiber ever.
Any ideas? Anyone seen this?
