Panoramic WiFi Pods 2.0 Ethernet ports
Basically have the same question as this post from 4 years ago and wanting to see if there are any updates. Panoramic Wifi Pods 2.0 | Cox Community I have the 1Gig plan with a Panoramic Gateway PW8 WiFi 6E in master closet and 1 Cat6 outlet in living room. I’m renting the gateway “for free” for 2 years due to promotion so would prefer not buying a new router/modem if possible. I am wanting to hardwire TV in living room using the cat6 outlet while boosting the overall Wifi strength in house. Secondary bedroom on opposite side of house will have gaming and streaming devices and has a coax outlet, so I wondered what is best way to have at least 500mbs speed in that room. I went down the MoCA and mesh rabbit hole, but getting negative answers with using the panoramic gateway and pods. Some forums stated the Ethernet backhaul doesn’t work in pods. Would TPLink Deco Axe5400 work? Could I use that with the Panoramic gateway? Or would using something like ScreenBeam bonded MoCA 2.5 Network Adapter be better in that bedroom with the coax cable?
Router (CGM4140COM) not properly negotiating 1000mbps link speeds with Ethernet connected devices.
Devices seem to keep negotiating 100mbps link speeds when they are gigabit capable. Problem only started to occur for the past month or so. Current fix is to just replug/restart the networked devices until it properly negotiates to gigabit link speeds. Have one device hardwired with a CAT6 cable, and two others via a switch (Tenda SG105)Since Cox never gives me the internet speeds I pay for, will they go down if I downgrade my service?
Title. I pay $100/month for 150 Mbps but never does it get any higher than 25, no matter when I speed test it. I connect straight to the modem via ethernet and can have no other devices and Since my current plan is "up to" 150 mpbs but Cox refuses to provide service close to that, can I just downgrade to the 50 Mbps plan without any change in service, or will they just throttle my internet even more?
Cox Customer Service Complaint: Gryphon Router
I picked up a new router at 3:00 pm on 09/24. I talked to Cox cable online chat prior to buying it, and they told that I would need to enable bridge mode on my wifi. So I get the router, had to follow the instructions to enable bridge mode. I go to the IP Address, Admin Tool -- turns out the login info. isnt the default login. I go on online chat for another 3 hours, where they try to troubleshoot and change the password. No one had any idea what they were doing. They told me to call a technician, after I wasted 3 hours. I had even asked if it would be better to call instead, they said no. So I end up calling anyways, I called 2 times on my cell phone, disconnected after 5 minutes, each time. Called another few time on the home phone, disconnected. Luckily, one service rep was able to help me do a hard reset for 90 seconds and I was able to get the login info to enable bridge mode. I spent another hour on customer service just for them to tell me there was an outage in my area and that they couldn't help me until it was done. So I waited till it was over, tried connecting the router, yet it still was unable to connect. SO I call again, talk with a service rep, she tells me to reset it, it doesn't work. Tells me to call a technician, tells me I'll get charged $75 if it's not Cox's problem... that I had to pay $10 a month to avoid this. No help, at all. I hung up, spent the next 3 hours trying to to disable bridge mode... FYI the Ethernet cable said it had no IP address. Finally I figured out to hard reset the WiFi. It worked, I disabled the bridge mode. You know what, I plugged the router into the modem, and it worked perfectly. I wasted 10+ hours following Cox's instructions, and no one is properly trained to give me the correct information. 10 hours when all I had to do was plug it in to the back of the Modem. I am being appalled by your customer service.
