pods or extender
Which is better Cox pods or extender for a dead spot in the house
Forum Discussion
Technicolor CGM4141. in my dead spot room where I watch TV/Stream, etc. I do have a coaxle cable but it’s my only one coming in to where my TV is
...so running an Ethernet cable to the dead room would not be practical?
How far does the Panoramic reach...with a strong signal...before the dead room? You could probably connect an access point at this spot.
MoCA could be an option but unless you also rent a Wireless cable-box, I think Cox disables this feature on Panoramic.
The Panoramic is a bloated and weak router. You could probably solve this by just buying your own router with a stronger transmitter. Cox just wants your cash: weak router, overpriced pods and no delicious MoCA unless you also 'fess for this.
I used to have a net gear router that did a lot better before Cox talked me into that panoramic. for some reason I believe them. from my rauner to the dead spot it is about 15-20 feet around walls. so I need to call Cox and ask them for MOCA? You seem to be the only person that knows
You seem to be the only person that knows
Me? Hardly. I just repeat whatever widermouthopen recommends.
I only recommend to evaluate the "...for some reason..." against purchasing your own equipment. If Pano was everything Cox boasts about in their woke-pandering commercials, why sell pods? I understand there are special circumstances but 15-20 feet is not special...unless your dead room is lined with lead.
I hate to purchase my own equipment to especially it gets outdated then I’m stuck. I might just look into an extender.
