Has anyone succeeded in using a router with "bridge mode" on the Cox modem, to get around the unreasonable 10 device limit? If I can't solve this, I'm going to have to cancel all my services and go to AT&T.

Hi AgingHippie, what 10-device limit you are referring to? I assisted a customer yesterday who had 27 internet-connected devices in his home. All were showing online (connected) in the My WiFi section of his Cox.com account. -Becky, Cox Support Forums Moderator

    Cox has started enforcing a 10 device limit on my account.  It's caused many problems.  I installed a router and put the 4141 in bridge mode, but that didn't work.  A Cox tech told me that if I upgraded to Gigablast, there would be no device limit, so I did that, but that did not work either.

    Most of my devices are hard wired, not wifi.

    Wireless: 3 laptops, 3 phones, EVSE, garage door opener, tablet
    Wired: server, printer, stereo, game console, 4 DVD players, 3 internet ready TV sets, slave router
