@Tom52Cox, When setting up port options please be aware of the ports that are actively blocked. You can find that information here: www.cox.com/.../internet-ports-blocked-or-restricted-by-cox.html. -Allan, Cox Support Forums Moderator.
Interesting. My device that requires port forwarding is an Over The Air DVR made by Tablo. Here is their guidance on this issue.
About six weeks ago, September 18th to be exact, I was able to port forward via the WiFi.cox.com site. Since then attempting to access the site results in being redirected to the Cox.com site. I belief this is designed by Cox in order to get customers to pay an extra $10 for complete care who need to port forward. It’s a pretty disgusting business practice considering there’s no reason why I shouldn’t be able to login to my router and port forward myself. I was willing to play ball even when they wanted to make it one step harder by sending me to WiFi.cox.com to port forward, so long as the site was accessible. However, now that the site is no longer accessible, I think this is a shameless way for a company to try to increase their bottom line. Very shady Cox, very shady indeed.
