How do I change my DNS with COX panoramic Router?
I have a cox panoramic router. I want to switch to Open DNS as my DNS servers for security reasons, as I am seeing frequent attacks on the router that I have been able to trace back as originating from the ISP DNS servers. However, I do not see any options for DNS in the panoramic router config options.How to set up OpenDNS for parental controls on COX Panoramic router
OpenDNS is used as a parental control and requires me to change my DNS servers. I logged into my router and they are currently set to, Primary DNS Server (IPv4):68.105.28.11 Secondary DNS Server (IPv4):68.105.29.11 But there is no visible option to changes these inside the Panoramic control panel. How do I fix this? Do I need a different router? Thanks!
Cox IPv6 San Diego
Does Cox have IPv6 rolled out in San Diego?Running https://test-ipv6.com/ on Firefox and Chrome shows No IPv6 address detected. Changed Firefox "network.dns.disableIPv6". value to "True" and can't find a way to set Chrome forIPv6 It does sayyour browser has a real working IPv6 address. The question i have has Cox rolled out IPv6, and if so,how can I get Firefox and Chrome to useIPv6. Running Cox preferred150Mbps/ 10Mbps,ARRIS / Surfboard TM3402 DOCSIS 3.1 32x8, Asus RT-AC86U.
YouTube Buffering Issues with Cox TG1682G Panoramic Wifi Modem/Router
There is an issue with the Cox Panoramic Router/Modem and YouTube. I can't tell if there's a firewall setting or something I'm missing. YouTube videos buffer while using the Cox Arris TG1682G Panoramic Gateway. I thought at first that Cox may be throttling YouTube so I got the FCC involved. I still suspect it, but haven't been able to prove it. However, when I put the Panoramic Modem/Router in Bridged Mode, and connect my own router to it, YouTube doesn't buffer and videos load instantly. Keep in mind that while using the Modem/Router combo in it's normal Routed/w NAT mode; that speeds were great overall. So it isn't a speed issue. It's YouTube in particular and videos taking 5-10 seconds to buffer before playing, only on Cox's network. This was tested on several different computers, and mobile phones with the same results. I've changed DNS servers to use non Cox DNS, played in the router settings, turned off TG1682G firewall, etc. I can't think of anything else that could be causing this except Cox doing some sort of traffic shaping/prioritization, or throttling with YouTube coming from their device, or a TG1682G device setting. Results were intermittent at times, meaning a few times videos would load instantly. That lead me to believe that it wasn't necessarily throttling, but traffic shaping/prioritization instead. Cox has denied those claims as well. The only constant in all of this is the Cox Arris Panoramic Gateway.
Arris Modem Widespread Malware Attack DNS posioning!!
There is definitely something going on with internet service. Apparently Arris Modem/Router has a critical backdoor that hasn't been patched. Last month my entire network was compromised. DNS traffic was being redirected to malcious servers. This was very well done, I think I may have been infected for at least 2 months. The attack was stealth. Symptoms Empty folders Timestamp manipulation Hides malicious applications, in random folders, and alters timestamp to make it hard to detect early on. Controls the clicks of computer mouse. Keylogger Downloads fake certificates Task manager had tons of .exe processors Updates legit software with malicious script Screenshots, video capture. System restore or installing Windows 10 will try and make it look like a fresh install but really it's fake, made to look just like the real thing. Then came the botnet activity and, Denial of Service, and then my router was destroyed. Even after I unplugged my computer from the network, they were still able have some control. Any devices that were conected to the network will be affected Internet would disconnect Hacker has replaced my network connection with different network that was redirecting my connection to hacker server. So I was given a new router new IP address, and I tested it on a different computer that was unaffected and I monitored for about a week. Then I start noticing suspicious activity Devices Managment installed 10 different type of Network adapters. Then IP address change and DNS traffic was being spoofed again. Cox Customer Service and Technicians don't see a problem. According to them the routers are very secured and there isn't a backdoor lol. There is an entire article about Arris routers. Anybody with similar experience!!!!
