    Posted Jan 17, 2024 03:31 PM

    Hello,

    We currently have one AP-567 mounted outside on one of our buildings. We are currently facing extreme cold temps in our area. I know these external APs are able to withstand low temps. Is there a command to show the devices temperature?

    Assuming you are talking about controller based, run "show ap tech-support" and eventually you'll see something like:

    TEMPERATURE SENSOR: wl -i wifi0 phy_tempsense
    ---------------------------------------------
            20 (0x14)

    Fairly sure that is the measured temperature on the CPU.

    For the outdoor APs, cold is usually only an issue if we are looking at a cold start.  If the AP is already operating when the temperature goes to or beyond the published limit, the waste heat from the electronics will typically keep the internals of the AP within operating specs.
