Multiple hidden networks coming from Panoramic Wifi
Hey all, I've noticed that there are multiple hidden networks coming from my Panoramic Wifi, I've never seen this from other routers. 2 in the 5ghz channel, 2 inthe 2.4ghz channel. They are each on the corresponding channel to the unhidden normal network. (2.4ghz for example, main network on channel 11, two hidden networks also on channel 11) They have the same signal strength as the main networks. There is one 802.1X classified hidden network in both 2.4ghz and 5ghz. I am viewing this data by using the "Wifi Explorer" app from the macOS app store. What are these networks for, and can I turn them off? Thankyou!
Work around for Guest Wifi - Cox router no longer has it
We just switched to the panoramic with the combined router and modem. We discovered later that the Cox removed the Guest Wifi option from their routers (super frustrating!!). Guest networking is basic functionality of a wireless router so I am very disappointed that Cox has gotten rid of this feature. As a work around, I tried setting up a new user as GuestWifi just for accessing the Cox Hot Spots but it won't work because even after removing all access, anyone using the login can still see our bill, pay our bill (ok maybe thats not so bad LOL), see our account number, etc....I'm sharing this part for others so they don't waste time with it. Next, we thought about connecting our old router to the new pano combined router/modem (basically using one modem with two routers). In concept, if I plug one end of the ethernet cable into the LAN port of the primary router, then plug the other end of the cable into the LAN port on the back of the second router, I'm thinking it'll work. But how do I set them up to show as different wifi logins? When I go into the router setup, how do I get into two different routers? Has anyone done this part of it?No valid router list on the Cox.con web
Cox are decide increase the cost of my awesome slow and expensive connection. I’m from Europe and I normally pay $30 for a 600/600 line with taxes, without any download limit. i understand we are in a diferent country and I need to pay more of the doble for a horrible 150/10 line with a really low download limit. But the limit for me it’s when Cox increase the cost of my line when I have a permanence agreement with them. And I only can quit the limited router they provide me. I read very carefully the router list in his web and I find a Arris TG1682 in a good price. I won’t have a better service but i will save some money. when I arrive to my home and I put my “new” router the system tell me “it’s not compatible” I review one more time the list and I call to customer service. They tell me this router only works when I rent to them. I spend my time and my money in look the routers and buy one. And COX cannot provide service over the routers they are listed as “compatible” the person attend me tell me only the routers of Netgear can works good. I can be sure Cox it’s not the better company. But in my town,unfortunately, we don’t have option. But... really? They publish a list of routers and it’s not valid?DAR1682 USB Drive
Anyone know the max size of drive that the DAR1682 "panoramic modem" can handle for sharing? It seems to handle smaller devices like a 128GB but when I try to connect something large enough to handle my required storage for video sharing it doesn't recognize. 1st I was thinking it might be the 128gb stick was a USB3 but I ordered a 4tb USB disk and it also fails. And before someone asks yes I've tried small "disks" instead of SSD sticks and they work. Just trying to figure out the largest I can attach or if maybe I need a firmware update?
Gigablast in Scottsdale
Recently I received an email that gigablast (Docsis 3.1 version) is available in my area. I called and scheduled an appointment for install. I made sure to tell them that today I have ultimate plan with 2 extenders (6,500 square foot house) and that I will need 2 or even 3 extenders with gigablast. I was not told that there would be any problems with this. I called again midweek to verify that extenders will be brought to the install. On the day of the install this past Saturday I was called by the technician and told that extenders for docsis 3.1 were not available and that due to this install couldn’t proceed with guarantees for full house coverage. My questions for Cox: 1. Do you educate your workforce on what is or isn’t available? 2. Why do you claim whole house coverage when this is a lie? 3. What is panoramic if not just an attempt to mislead users into believing that you have service that you actually don’t?
When will Gigablast Panoramic WiFi router support the WiFi Pods Mesh options, similar to the prior non-Gigablast version?
When will Gigablast Panoramic WiFi router support the WiFi Pods Mesh options, similar to the prior non-Gigablast version? This will allow extension of the WiFi to more distant parts of the home which may not have consistent connection, correct?
