No problem, as long as either the pano is in bridge mode, OR the wireless router for the mesh system is running as an access point.
That sounds like a nice setup Darkatt ... maybe I'll look at something similar if I can't get this working well.
I'm sort of at a standstill at the moment: I put the new Cox modem into bridge mode but then couldn't get my router (Deco mesh) to connect to it. Now can't get the Cox modem set back to 'normal' since I no longer have a laptop with a network port.
So I'm back on Verizon for now until I can figure out how to get the Cox modem/router reset. (Could not find the expected Reset button ... plan to get a USB-C to RJ45 adapter tomorrow and start over!)
Hi AlvinET,
While I won't have much info on how to setup a mesh network with the device, I can advise on how to factory restore it. If your model does not have the small pin hole in it, you can press and hold the WPS button for 60 seconds to factory reset it.
ThanksNicholeC … I figured that out late last night. So I am back up and running, trying to decide what to do next!
One question: my Cox WiFi app is now unable to connect with the gateway … most stuff in the app seems to work, but when I try to connect to the gateway itself the app tells me the gateway is offline and not available. I know that is not correct as I’m connecting through it at the time. Any idea what to do about that?
I recommend uninstalling the app and re-installing. Sometimes, resetting your password prior to re-installing will also help resolve this.
