How does wifi.cox determine time zone for parental controls?

How does the "Downtime Scheduler" for profiles decide what time zone to use when scheduling up/down time? I have a profile set to 'wake up' at 4AM but at 7:30AM its still blocked.

after testing it with various devices...i suspect it is NOT (entirely?) a cox glitch. It seems to affect different devices...my phones shut off and on at appointed times down to the correct minute...within seconds of the programmed down time. Seems like some devices (like TVs) dont 'wake up' after they've been restored. Probably something between the router and the TV...nothing to do with wifi.cox

Is the TV wired to the router?

      So your wireless connection to the TV disconnects at the scheduled time but won't reconnect at the scheduled time?

        correct. I havent tested it yet, but I suspect that restarting the TV or switching to "cast" first might wake it. I'll try that later.
