Should I set up my internet myself or
I am clueless about how internet or what settings I should have on my Cox gigablast and I don’t know what Lan means and if I have to set up my internet internet connection through the app I have or just leave it the way it is when it was set up by Cox tech
I have had no problem with it at all I have some security cameras that need it to be a 2.4GHz and I am getting configure WiFi it could be the camera itself but I’m not sure what to do with WiFi I am using Cox WiFi app and I have access to change it.
shoud I just leave it alone and get better camera?

If you have the Panoramic Wifi App installed I would like to share with you some tips to help optimize your network, as your modem is a smart modem and will toggle networks. Although it gives you faster speeds the 5GHz band has the shorter wavelengths and higher frequency meaning that it is not good for long-range connections. The 2.4GHz band has slower speeds but a longer wavelength making it more stable at longer distances. Most cameras will only hook on to the 2.4GHz band. I would suggest downloading the Cox Panoramic Wifi App if you want to give your networks two different names. The link provided here should assist you: www.cox.com/.../cox-panoramic-wifi-app-features.html .

If you want to setup and control your Internet, don't use Cox equipment. If you subscribe to Cox Voice, you have to use a Cox telephone modem but other than this, you should purchase your own equipment.
