How can I have a device restarted that I connect to a coxwifi hotspot on that's not working. The name is Setup-318C the address is 1919 n la Canada green valley az 85614?
it's the default SSID of sombody's Pano Modem
While I don't disagree, how do you know it's from a Pano modem? Couldn't it be from any router or AP?
Cause the older pano modems default SSID was setup-(last 4 of the MAC ID). No other router that I am familiar with, and there is a LOT I am familiar with used that particular naming convention.
Send an email to cox.help@cox.com to troubleshoot Setup-318C.
Setup-318C
The name of the network is that? If so, how is that a CoxWifi hotspot? The name should be "CoxWifi". Also, I searched that area and the closest AP is at Frausto’s Street Tacos across the street at 1910 N La Cañada Dr # 4, Green Valley, AZ 85614.
Other providers participate in the hotspots (CableWiFi). Device may be offline, removed, relocated, etc. Who knows...send an email.
But shouldn't the name(SSID) be CableWifi or CoxWifi?
Try unplugging it.
Just a stab in the dark, but perhaps the confusion is a case of dangling modifiers.
The "device" could be the OP's device (laptop, tablet, phone, etc), and the OP has normally used this device to automatically connect to a CoxWiFi. However, the CoxWiFi may actually be "not working."
Since the hotspot is offline, OP is asking how to connect this device to OP's "older pano modem" instead of automatically connecting to the CoxWiFi.
COULD Be, but the address provided is an apartment complex, so either they ARE trying to find a Cox Hotspot, or they are connecting to their pano modem, (BTW, the wpa/preshare key is posted on the bottom on the sticker if it IS your modem), and if it's someone else's wifi, then accessing it without their permission is a federal offense.
What is weird is there are no hotspots listed for the apartment complex. Nearest one is across the street at a business. I imagine the map doesn't show every hotspot broadcasting gateway?
As for federal offense, I don't think anything nefarious is going on. Sounds like simple user error to me.
