    Thanks!  I was able to manually update the firmware.  The issue was finally resolved by the internet provided.  They finally found the issue.  The outages were due to water seeping in to one of their nodes.

That's a good one. It should be eligible for a prize of some sort!

 

It just goes to show that the whizziest of technologies can succumb to the elements.
