are you aware it can take up to an hour for the pano unit to set itself up + you won't connect anything to the auxiliary routers until the pano is setup?

i piggyback an older netgear 2.4/5, 2nd router off my working pano unit to run an older dell laptop, it does run slower?

      Would a Cox tech set up personal equipment?

        probably not, i've had to setup various routers for years before the panoramic combo unit.

        i was only going by what the op posted!
