Class B WAN IP Assignment
Just noticed that out Cox internet WAN IP assignment has been switched to a class B network with an assignment of 255.255.248.0 - which is known to be lower quality than class A. Any particular reason for this? It’s been like this for a few weeks, even after modem resets.974Views0likes6CommentsTrying to reset my WAN IP address in 2021 and get a new IP
Was doing some research and found that my IP address hadn't changed in almost 30 days - very worrisome for security and privacy reasons. I'm a RESIDENTIAL subscriber, not a business subscriber so I shouldn't have a static IP assigned to me at all times. I've been trying to reset my IP address by rebooting my Internet modem - no dice. I've left it unplugged and not powered for 5-12 hours - still same IP. Did Cox suddenly stop doing Dynamic IP configs? Are all customers just static now? I tried calling technical support about this and they weren't of any help, totally incompetent. Are any Cox Communications technical support personnel able to verify or assist with my concerns? I do NOT want to retain the same public WAN IP address for any longer than 2 or 3 weeks. That's insane. Thanks in advance.2.7KViews0likes3CommentsDoes Cox support Link Aggregation?
Hi So on my Arris SB8200, there is a setting for Link Aggregation. My router also supports it and so does my computer. But Cox states on their website only one of the ethernet ports on the modem can be used. Even with the firmware does Cox support LAG?4.2KViews0likes2Comments
