do phones/tablet connect thru cell network?
cox equipment or yours? not all my devices will work with my panoramic combo modem/router.
2 older dell, small form factor pc's + 2 10 year old laptops.
they all see the cox unit but can't connect with wi-fi & need to be hardwired.
it depends how old your devices are, i still have an old i-phone 5s + galaxy s5 that connect to cox wi-fi.
The phones and tablets are not connecting through cell network because only one of 6 of those devices are activated through a service, and the others are not using the hot spot of the activated phone, nor do we have all of the devices connected at the same time. We are using the panoramic modem/router from Cox. Our desktop was built from scratch, laptop is older. Also, trying to connect Xbox 360, PS4, and Epson printer, all of which were connected at my last house in rural upstate NY using Spectrum. What is strange is that our network is not even showing up. I can see all of the neighbors, but not ours. Even when we enter it in manually, it won’t connect.
