Interesting. I was going by what I heard someone say on Reddit, from someone who said they were a Cox employee. Also it made sense because the guest SSID was lost around the same time as they started to broadcast CoxWifi. Not saying you are wrong, but what data are you going off? Also, does that mean it has 3 ways to separate data? The data for customer internet, the data for CoxWifi, and the data for cable boxes? How does the system track the customers data and not the other 2? VLAN?
I was Data Tier 2, and then CAG. I also worked hand in hand with Docsis engineering on several projects. The MOST UNFORTUNATE one, was my Netgear CG6300BD, which was bricked with a firmware upgrade. That's when Cox gave me my DG2460 Arris wifi modem. Still have it, though on a shelf as a backup.
So you are saying your data is internal Cox documentation? What my question is if the guest wifi was changed to wifi TV boxes, what does the CoxWifi run on? How do they segregate the data for privacy/security/data collection? The fact that the normal wifi signal and the one for wifi TV boxes goes off when you put the gateway in bridge mode but the Coxwifi signal does not means something. Like they should be on different antenna. I tried looking up the exact specs on FCC's site but they didn't give specifics.
::edit:: You think the CG6300BD was bad, I had to beta test the CG3000, Netgear's first combo Cox wanted to use. Worst device I have ever used and I used to be a Dlink beta tester, so that is saying something.
Actually, I LIKED my CG6300BD, it actually ran great, till it got bricked bu a firmware update from Docsys engineering.
The C0X WiFi channel, runs on an unmetered connection, and I THINK, it was limited to 2.4GHZ.
That's why I will never trust my router firmware to my ISP.
Any idea how the CoxWifi network manages the bandwidth resources? The DOCSIS connection only has so much bandwidth. How does the system know how many Coxwifi connections to allow and at what speed before it creates a bottleneck for the customer paying for the main service?
