If you have Telephone service, Cox will supply an internet and telephone modem at no extra cost. You are welcome to purchase your own third-party retail Gateway, as long as it is on the list of Cox-approved modems. We do offer Gateway modems for rental, and there are many benefits. For instance, we offer Panoramic WiFi, which includes the app for free:

There are many other factors that can determine speed, even on a hard-wired connection. For example, the type of operating system, the age of your device or any malware/viruses can also impact performance. Here's some additional information on correcting slow speeds:

Lastly, the number of devices you have connected to the in-home network can also determine speed. Please feel free to reach out to us at cox.help@cox.com, Facebook or Twitter for additional support. -Kevin M. Cox Support Forum Moderator

Hi Kevin, thank you for your input.
I am updated on everything. Most recent version of W10, clean install on a new build. Nothing wrong with the OS. The speed is across all devices. Typically there is only 3-5 devices connected at once.
Anyway, what is a Gateway modem? Are you talking about Gateway the brand (lol)?
- KevinM26 years agoFormer ModeratorHi User2k, you're quite welcome. A gateway is a device that combines the functions of a modem and a router. The telephone and internet modems we provide to customers free of charge do NOT have wireless capabilities. However, our Panoramic WiFi modems are Gateway modems, as they have wireless capabilities. These are available for a monthly fee. -Kevin M. Cox Support Forum Moderator
