Last Tuesday I replaced my head-end aPPo with a new aPPo (from Singapore). Ever since then, I am having problems with my RSSI between 8pm and 8am. This is affecting ALL my clients...not just close in (all types of sB client devices).
When I replaced this aPPo, I also replaced the antenna (same brand/type) and pigtail. Please see that attached pic for a better representation of what is going on. Before anyone suggests it...this is NOT interference. Interference does not cause RSSI to be reduced...it causes LQ to go crazy. With that said, I have also been monitoring my channels 24x7 and there is nothing crazy going on. Weather has been perfect for the entire time (daytime 78 night 62). Why would a drop in temperature affect THIS aPPo??? Normally an increase in temperature has adverse affects...not the other way around. I noticed that this new aPPo (from Singapore-hardware fixed) had the new 1.4j.8 firmware. So...just to see, I downgraded it to 1.4j.6. No affect...still dropping RSSI at night? Any ideas? Sully P.S. On this same day, I replaced my repeater aPPo and only have one client on it. This aPPo has a 15db omni with one client on it at 1 mile with a 13db panel. It is obviously receiving over a 100% RSSI, so I cant tell if this unit is also behaving the same. I also have an older aPPo online, and all of it's clients are NOT having this issue with dipped RSSI at night.
