I have no coax in the room, hence the need for the wireless. Am just looking for confirmation of whether it should work and if so why it is not working.
Right now the wireless box and Pano are next to each other for testing purposes. Again, works fine until I put the Pano into bridge mode.
Why are you putting the Pano into Bridge Mode? In Bridge Mode, the Pano isn't broadcasting. I don't know how the wireless streamer would still get an updated Guide (hour-by-hour, time, temp, etc) without the Pano broadcasting.
I'll assume...since the Pano is designed to broadcast OTA copy-righted material and providers hate piracy...the wireless streamer will only negotiate with the Pano.
In Bridge Mode, how do you figure 2 devices would communicate?

The wireless box is able to connect to my WiFi network which goes through the bridged pano box with no issues or complaints.

Wireless Cable-Box > Personal Router > Bridged Pano works for Contour Guide and Cloud DVR Storage.
You want live TV from Cox > Bridged Pano > Personal Router. The first thing I notice with this concept is you could essentially rebroadcast live TV from your personal router...to whomever.
- Becky4 years agoModeratorHi Hotngui, the Panoramic Wifi gateway and the wireless Contour receiver communicate over the gateway's wifi network. This communication is how live TV is transmitted to the wireless Contour receiver. With the Panoramic Wifi gateway in bridge mode, this communication does not happen. As you noted, you can watch recorded content with the gateway in bridge mode. However, you will not be able to watch live TV with the gateway in bridge mode. I apologize if this wasn't communicated effectively prior to installing the wireless Contour receiver. -Becky, Cox Support Forums Moderator
