WiFi is LAN. If data transfer is restricted to only the LAN, Cox can't meter it. Cox can only meter your data if it travels out the modem or ONT.
If data is transferring within your house...from device to device on your LAN...it doesn't count against your data cap. How could it? It's not on the Cox network. If your data usage is increasing but you're not streaming or downloading huge files from the Internet, perhaps you have an unauthorized user on your network. Change your encryption key.
OK ..Thanks....If a smart TV is connected through a wifi connection that's still on my LAN right? That's what I was thinking but wanted to be sure. Just wasn't 100% on wifi / LAN.
From where is the WiFi TV getting its programming? Yes, the TV may be connected to your router but the router isn't providing the programming. The router is only an intermediary to the source of your programming. If your source of programming is an in-house media server, this would not count against your data cap. If the source is Hulu, for example, it would count.
how do you figure it doesn't count, this from cox.com/my wifi....devices using wifi??

Thanks ...I *** when it comes to WAN /LAN .. I can configure my home network but not 100% how it actually connects. I always thought ONT was for separating media from data. But I guess I am wrong again as the menu still worked on the tv when I disconnected the coax.
