As for running an Ethernet cable, use this example: If you wanted to install a cable-box in the "dead" room, is there a coaxial connector already on the wall in this room? If not, how would you run a coaxial cable to this room? Could you...would you...should you?
The same goes for an "access point." Is there already an Ethernet connector (LAN connection) on the wall of this dead room? If not, would you run a cable?
A wire is your best option; however, if you don't have the means for a wired connection, we'll roll back to your wireless option.
...so running an Ethernet cable to the dead room would not be practical?
How far does the Panoramic reach...with a strong signal...before the dead room? You could probably connect an access point at this spot.
MoCA could be an option but unless you also rent a Wireless cable-box, I think Cox disables this feature on Panoramic.
The Panoramic is a bloated and weak router. You could probably solve this by just buying your own router with a stronger transmitter. Cox just wants your cash: weak router, overpriced pods and no delicious MoCA unless you also 'fess for this.
I used to have a net gear router that did a lot better before Cox talked me into that panoramic. for some reason I believe them. from my rauner to the dead spot it is about 15-20 feet around walls. so I need to call Cox and ask them for MOCA? You seem to be the only person that knows
so, you’d be better off to buy a separate router? if I remember right putting panoramic in bridge mode didn’t help much either When I was trying Google router

What's the make and model of your router?
