Constant Loss of Service
I recently moved and Cox installed a Panoramic WiFi. From day one it has gone offline. Now it’s completely dead. Anyone who can help me?

I don't see how someone who can have so much experience in networking not want to control their router firmware. It's like a race car driver wanting to drive a automatic.
Actually, It runs fine. If I had problems with it, I would change to stand alone modem and router, but it's been running solid over 41 days, I have a Plex media NAS connected via ethernet as well as 2 computers and a powerline adapter providing mesh network upstairs. I have 2 ipads, 2 samsung tablets, 2 smart tvs, 2 firesticks, 2 ps4's 1 ps5, and 2 ps3's, and 1 S22 ultra, all connected without issue. I am on one of the computers now -
What else do I need?
router firmware is integrated with the modem
I don't like that.
If it ain't broke...
I still have a g-router with a 100 Mbps port...and in 15 years, it's NEVER failed me. The only problem I've ever had with Internet service was the D3.1-eMTA Cox issued for landline. Its DOCSIS-side fizzled, so I reconnected my D3.0.
Control over your firmware? Not to mention you have to pay Cox a rental fee every month. A router pays for itself.
First, I don't need control over the firmware to accomplish what I need out of this device. Second, MINE is purchased, there is no rental fee.
Is the firmware on the router-side "locked down'? I'm thinking since you own it, and if there were any updates, Cox probably wouldn't push to the router. DOCSIS, yes, router, no.
On the DG2460, the router firmware is integrated with the modem firmware. I have all the options I need, and under my control, port forwarding, etc etc. I have MANY devices working without issue, including a PLEX media server (NAS), with 14 terabytes on it.
