Year old CPE turns unstable without any reason...

rb133C CPE running for 16 monts but since yesterday giving problems. Nothing changed in setup between AP (rb532a) and CPE nor any upgrades lately (CPE v3.26, AP v3.27 for some weeks now)

CPE has -68dBm signal and receives AP with -67dBm. CCQ is near 100%. Signal always stays around these figures, even when AP changes freq. But since yesterday after 2-3 mins ping time from AP to CPE run up from the usual 1-2ms to 40-60-200-500 into near 1000ms and then after some time CPE looses IP level communication. (Winbox drops)
On mac still reachable but very slow.

Installed watchdog to AP address but doesn’t work. (So the ping from CPE to AP is not affected.)
When ping runs on CPE to AP at same time nothing changes, 0-2ms untill disconnect.
Need to mac telnet in to reboot unit and then it works again for some mins.

What the hell is causing this? Power? Ran on 18V adapter for first year, since some months replaced by 24V.

Any suggestions?
