Re: Problems with forum sign in
Thanks for your help but I just don't care anymore. I'm done trying. I was able to download all my content from the forum. Didn't know you could even do that. I think tonight will be the last time I am online...ever. Was nice knowing you and everyone on the forum...even the ones that didn't like me. 😄16Views0likes0CommentsRe: Plan changed and now overages?
Who do you think you are talking to? We aren't employees. We are just people who tried to help you. Let's not play the "I am angry" game because I WILL win. We gave you a simple solution. Don't watch stuff that says "internet" next to it. Happy? ::Moderator:: Please lock thread. OP is belligerent.64Views0likes0CommentsRe: Problems with forum sign in
Well as it turns out, I may solve the "no google" problem by just giving up the internet all together. Go back to reading more and listening to my CDs. The only thing I will probably end up using the PC for is to play games. So case closed. Solution? I will just repeat what you have said several times; "Avoid Cox". Everything they touch turns to poop.14Views0likes2CommentsRe: Replacement for Arris cornerstone NIU
What do you mean by voice port/splitter? It has female RJ11 connections of course, because that is where you phone line used to connect to, but now it comes from your phone modem(eMTA) so the ones on the NIU aren't needed. There is a splitter/tap inside the NIU and I even think a low powered amp too. However the NIU was powered with electricity that was sent over the coaxial when the NIUs were used, but now that Cox doesn't, they no longer have the equipment on the line to send electricity through the coaxial to power it. So basically it's a paperweight but one with a splitter inside. So yes, removing it will change your signal but it should just make it stronger/clearer. The only problem that would lead to is if the signal going to your house was already too strong or you were using a amp inside to boost it. I suggest having a technician remove it and then look at your signal levels. For more info, what model modem/gateway do you have?12Views0likes0CommentsRe: Problems with forum sign in
So I just had the problem on my PC for the first time. I have been playing around with different browsers after giving up Chrome. Had the problem recently, switched from Opera GX to Edge and didn't have the problem with Edge. I checked that Opera had all adblock and privacy settings disable. No change. I deleted all Cox.com and forums.cox.com cookies. No change. Then I deleted all cookies and temp files and it worked. So it seems to be a temp file issue and not a cookie issue. Any ideas? Also, I don't think it's a issue with Opera. It seems like the forum is loading some kind of temp file which it then detects and causes some problem and I just so happened to be using Opera when that file was downloaded. The fact that no one else has reported this makes me think it's something related to not having the forum account registered to a Cox.net email, which is weird because cox.net doesn't even belong to Cox anymore.17Views0likes4CommentsRe: Replacement for Arris cornerstone NIU
I saw this previous post which pointed to a possible ground hum issue. Did you ever get that looked at and fixed? I know you likely have, since it was 10 years ago, but that would line up around the time Cox used NIU's, so it's possible a tech hasn't been out in that long.72Views0likes2CommentsRe: Replacement for Arris cornerstone NIU
Should just need a grounding block, assuming the NIU was correctly grounded. However the NIU is Cox property so just contact them to come out and remove it and do everything required. No replacement since it isn't used anymore and serves no function. If anything, it just causes problems. I am surprised it's still there. When was the last time you had a technician out?86Views0likes5CommentsRe: Ports Blocked on IPV6?
Took me a while to figure out why the forum was saying there was a new post when there wasn't any new comments. Turns out that is what happens when OP edits OP. As for router, ouch. TP-link. Not only might they be banned in the US because they possible phone home to China(where they are made) but they hide some of their features behind the paywall for their Homeshield product. Most of the advanced settings require the app which requires a TP-link account. I don't see any way to customize the firewall at all, never mind a IPv6 firewall. Maybe something in Homeshield? So not only is this not a Cox issue, but I think you are lacking the right hardware and understanding. I was hoping it was going to be something simple you are overlooking, but that doesn't seem the case. I suggest posting this question on Reddit. On either Cox's sub or r/Homenetworking. Since it's not Cox related and not within scope(and I don't really have any good ideas) I won't be able to help, but maybe someone else here can. Good luck. ::edit:: 1 thing I do want to mention again is to test things direct to the CM700 modem to rule out any ISP issues. ::edit 2:: If/when you replace the router, you may want to replace the modem too. Most/all Cox infrastructure is DOCSIS 3.1 compatible, and even if you don't sign up for the faster speed, a D3.1 modem would give you more consistent speed and possibly higher upload speeds. It might also help with latency issues because D3.1 added latency improvements and the CM700(and ALL 32x8 D3.0 modems) were known for a latency bug relating to the Puma CPU inside.18Views0likes0Comments
