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 to wifi.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?
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.
