Admin no Longer Able to Make Changes Due to MyWifi
I recently setup MyWifi as I thought it was interesting and thought I would check it out. However now that I have signed up for it the local admin portal does very little as it is being "automatically managed by cox". The changes that could be done on the app/MyWIFI seem really limited. How do I get back to being able to use my local admin to change my configuration? So far I have hard reset the router and looked through most, if not all settings / webpages to unlink the myWIFI. I also looked through this forum to see if this has already been asked, but no luck. I'm hoping there is a simple solution I am missing but if not I'll try my luck with customer service.
Port Forwarding Defaults to Random IP
While it is beyond me that cox has forced me to use this buggy and weird wifi.cox thing, here I am in this situation. I have an ethernet connected Desktop which needs to be portforwarded on several ports (the interface forces me to delete ALL ports to make a change, that **, but isn't my issue). I should have a reserved ip address lets just say on 192.168.my.ip (shown like this for security reasons), the update has forced it to a DHCP 192.168.my.ip, and every time I try to change it, it does nothing. Still not the main issue. When I go to port forward, it asks for the device, I click the device, fill in the info, and hey look, it changes to 192.168.0.2 instead of 192.168.my.ip, and says that there is no device on that, there isn't... Yet I check my device, and it is shown as being 192.168.my.ip. This has completely crippled all of the services on my computer, and me being annoyed is an understatement.
Interface Update - Port Forward Error Message
There has been an update recently that forces advanced settings like port forwarding to move towifi.cox. Since this I can no longer port forward anything and receive the error: We're Having Some Trouble Please wait a few minutes and try again or restart your Gateway. I have tried resetting my router and disabling the advanced security option. This is very annoying as I rely on a lot of port forwarding to host things and it deleted some of my assigned ports. Is anyone else having this issue and/or found a fix to this?
