Why is my Cox panoramic wifi modem/router so noisy?
I just switched to the Cox panoramic Wifi gigablast modem/router and it works great but it makes a loud humming noise. It's in a bedroom so this is a big problem. I already exchanged it once and the new one is just as noisy, if not worse. I may have to find another solution unless somebody knows of a way to quiet it down. Help!

I can understand how annoying that a humming noise can be especially when you are trying to sleep. There is a fan that pulls air in underneath the gateway; can elevate the modem to improve airflow. If the humming is unbearable I recommend that you swap it out again.

Yes - having this problem too. It's muuuuch louder than my computer. Never experienced a noisy modem before. I have to ditch this thing. Sigal is good but can't sit next to that drone noise all day. Cox - please improve the product or allow rental of a different brand.
