disable open "CoxWiFi"
There has been a post in the past about disabling the open "CoxWiFi" network. These instructions are no longer valid and there is no way to disable the network either from www.cox.com/myprofile under privacy and security. Also there are not settings available when logging into the router. I find this whole idea of an open wifi disturbing. I have found a very large list of devices that said they have been connected, but its been a very long time since, to my network and none of them are in my home.

no password/key/etc is why folks are using your wifi!!
you're like an el cheapo coffee shop that provides unsecured wifi!

it's the last option - cox hotspot.
note it only applies if you have a panoramic wifi. you won't have this if it's not rented.

Please note: Cox Hotspots is designed to work on a separate WiFi network, so your home network remains entirely secure. By enabling guests to use Cox Hotspots, you increase your network security because you won't need to provide your private home WiFi network password.
Also, if you are unsure if your home network is not secure, I suggest that you change your WiFi password (do not use any previously used passwords).
Thank you,
