Restarting the Router is required, but not mentioned anywhere in the Port Forwarding configuration screens. Restarting the Gateway or Router was NOT required before, when the Gateway (Router) managed the ports locally. Re: port forwarding I did have success just now, by adding the port forwards using the new Wifi.cox.com system, then Restarted the entire Gateway (Cox Router). My Security Cameras are now accessible! I've noticed other people saying that a recent update has caused issues with port forwarding. Also, the new Advanced Security features disable all port forwarding, and require you to Accept and Authorize each IP that does try to connect. Of course, if you're using a mobile phone (Random IP each day) you would have to log into your router everyday to authorize your cellphone to access your camera system. Cox is trying to simplify things, and has removed all advanced port forwarding features that we all had working fine, from their Gateway to the Cloud. The alternate solution at this time is to BRIDGE the Cox Router (disables everything) and use it as a Modem only... then buy your own Wireless Router and perform advanced functions on your own router. Cox won't even discuss any of this port forwarding debacle unless you purchase their Customer Support package.
