Hi bobC927. The MY WIFI tab on the Cox website is intended for the Cox rental gateway for you to view your network information and devices connected and make any necessary changes without having to sign into the router. This also allows you to monitor your network when away from home as well. Thanks, Lisa - Cox Support Forums Moderator
So MyWIFI basically gives you the same info you get from signing into a router, without signing into the router. Is that a correct analogy?
To be useful, My WiFi should mirror your router admin page but it could be limited to whoever designed it. It's someone's interpretation of what you should see.
These network services, ports and protocols have been around a long time. If you had a router in the 90's...as Mouth indicated above...you could configure it for remote administration via its Public IP Address, such as from wherever you work. You can still do that today.
You don't need Cox to do it and it shouldn't cost $10 a month. Cox just tossed it on their page and are forcing you to rent a modem to use it. It's a scam.
