WiFi app is dead
Been going round and round with various "techs" and nothing is working. After getting a new (to me) router, I set it up with split 2.4G/5G SSIDs and everything was working as intended. However, after...

I don't have a Panoramic gateway to test but I hear the android app is glitched. Do you have a Apple/iOS device to try?
As for why the Wifi.cox.com was removed, I can only guess it was for security reasons.
Do you get the gateway for free? Do you have Cox wireless TV boxes or anything that requires you to use the gateway? If not, you might want to buy your own modem and router, specially if port forwarding is mission critical. Or you could bridge the gateway and just buy a router. Just throwing it out there as a suggestion.
Thanks for the reply. No IOS devices, so I'm stuck until the Android app is fixed. I was told, due to my usage of Cox Phone, that I'm required to use one of their modems. Since I dropped my service down to 100 Mbps, the modem is now free.
Nothing is mission-critical, I just want control of my own devices. If the wifi.cox.com site was a security risk, then they should have left the settings open when logging directly into the modem. I'm guessing that more users were effing this up, so they went Microsoft and just locked the settings.
I'm not sure if this will help, but do you use a hard wired connection to log in?
Also, you have to use a Cox telephone modem but not an Internet modem...let alone an Internet modem with a Pano bolted onto it.
If you have your own router, you can exchange the Pano for a 2-in-1 combo device: telephone and DOCSIS modem.
Not sure how a hard-wired connection will help with controlling my WiFi devices. When I reset the modem, I used my hard-wired PC connection to set a few permanent DHCP leases and disable the 2.4G WiFi band. But that's about all I could do.
My modem is already a combo device. According to this Cox website - https://www.cox.com/residential/support/cox-certified-cable-modems.html - no devices are compatible with my current services. I find this extremely hard to believe. Unsupported, OK; not working, no way.
What glitch are you referring to in the app?

I get "Let's try that again. We couldn't load your settings..." I've reinstalled the app, rebooted the phone, signed out of all Cox apps/websites. If you read the latest Google Play reviews, there are tons of comments relaying this exact problem.
