Why is my CoxWiFi hotspot broadcasted by my panoramic gateway locked?
The CoxWiFi hotspot that is broadcasted by my gateway requires WPA2 password to it. Has anyone had the same issue and how did you resolve it?

Cox WiFi hoitspot broadcast by pano is locked by Cox ID and Password. you have to select it, and then you should get a login page, asking for username and password. the username is your Cox Login ID for Cox webmail, or Cox Web Site, and the associated password.
I have a pano and it's not locked here I just tried it. Are you able to login to your router okay? I think you might have to login to your router to access the hotspot.
I can login to my router and I tried to turn the privacy setting in my profile off and on but the issue still persists
No mine is protected by a WPA2 password . I cannot even get connected to it and there is no captive login (because it is protected by a regular Wi-Fi password like the home Wi-Fi )
If a factory reset isn't fixing it, I suggest swapping it out at a Cox store. Also, just to confirm, does this network disappear when you power down your gateway?
Yes
Silly question.. Are you SURE it's a WiFi hotspot broadcast by your router, OR could it be a nearby neighbor who named their personal WiFi the exact same SSID as the Cox Hotspot SSID, to be a Pr**k..... I ask that cause someone nearby where I live has done the same thing.
I don't think that 2 hotspots can be named exactly the same but I could be wrong about that🤔
