Port Forwarding on Cox Wi-fi App?
I am having trouble opening ports on my TG1682G Panoramic Wi-Fi router. I have installed the Cox Wi-Fi app, but it has proved unhelpful. Going to the dedicated section for port forwarding immediately throws an error message, saying "Something unexpected happened", with no further technical details that could help me diagnose the issue. I am running an up-to-date version of the Android Cox Wi-Fi app on my phone, and this feature fails to function both over cellular data and over Wi-Fi. There are other sections of the app that also tell me they "can't display [my] details right now", which may indicate an issue with the service the app should be connecting to. There is no other means of opening ports on my router, since the feature has been removed from all other services- accessing the router from the default gateway results in a redirect to wifi.cox.com, which has also seen its features stripped to move to the app. Many posts on this forum say "Buy another router". Maybe someday soon- but I'd appreciate help in finding interim/stop-gap solutions, even frustrating ones, if there are any. One post had a recommendation to reach out to an email, but they asked for a lot of personal information- so I asked for a phone number. No reply yet.
Cox Gateway Port Blocking and macOS
I am trying to use VMware on my Mac to connect to my work VM. Every time I try to connect I get an error that the connection has timed out. If I use my iPhone as a hotspot instead of WiFiI can connect with no issues. Googled and found that it is probably blocked ports on the Cox side. I did set up port forwarding using the Cox WiFi app and I still can not connect. I have tried a bunch of different ports the last ones I tried are 443, 4172, 8443, and 22443.
