NETGEAR Orbi RBK50 Satelite Question

[HOFB]

Will the Orbi RBK50 satellite withstand cold temperatures. If so, how cold???

Per the specs in the manual, its rated in temps from 32-104 degrees F. 

I've had mine in the garage in the winter time where it gets below freezing and it still worked. Its not ideal and is going to cut its lifespan down. Reason why is you have something out doors getting hot/cold and that can caues moisture buildup (enemy of electronics). So it might last years (like mine) or just days.

Thanks for that info. I appreciate your feedback. Like you, I guess I'll take that gamble and leave it in my unheated shop. Thanks again..
