sucks in rooms away from the modem. Would getting WIFI extenders from best buy help solve the problem?
they keep saying my signal is extremely strong but if your in a room away from the modem it is slow.

the built in router that comes with the modem is always a piece of shite. buy a proper router and put the modem in bridge mode.
extenders should be the last resort

I'm assuming the wifi in question is from their modem/router? Have you checked to see if they have any newer model modem/routers to give you?

ditch that combo modem/router. you are probably paying a monthly fee of $5-6. Go by a modem and a good router. problem solved.

That has nothing to do with Cox.

Search Google WiFi or Eero. Pay for good WiFi.

We switched to AT&T fiber today. I am getting 420mb down and 500up. It cost us $1 more than 50mb Cox did.
I have no idea if this helps or not, I was too excited to read the OP.

I have cox aswell. Get your own modem/router. Netgear Nighthawk AC1900 is where it's at!

They sell it as part of their service. They are even selling router/switching services to their business clients where your end points plug directly into their gear, handle IP addressing,DHCP etc. Talk about a total nightmare. It basically breaks everything that was statically set up on the LAN. Keep in mind, this is for business accounts.

My wife complained about the WIFI for her laptop while I Was at work, and I added a wireless router. No problems since.

Yeah... it's totally stupid. I got a business line installed at my home last year. I told the saleswoman that I'd be using my own router. Guy came to install and said that he had a combo modem/router for me to use instead and that it was on the ticket and he had to do it.
My router is a Quad Core i7 FreeBSD box with 32GB of RAM. So naturally, I told him hell no and to get the ticket changed. Apparently the contractor installers can't call in, so he had to email someone to change my ticket and hang around my house for a half hour and talk to me about video games and beer brewing until they emailed him back with the go-ahead, meanwhile he told me he was behind time on 2 other appointments.

So purchasing a decent router will solve my problem?
Basically every single time we stream some of Netflix series, it constantly has to reboot/refresh.
I have had it. I'm going to purchase the router suggested in this thread.
Just want to make sure this is the answer to my problem.
Thanks

I started having problems with my wifi in the last month - constantly disconnecting from my devices or just slow. My internet and cable provider is cox. I figured it was a cox internet thing - guess like the OP, I don't get it either. Before coming across this thread, I was reading up on coxs new panoramic wifi service and their new equipment.
I take it from what you all are saying is im better off never buying/ renting wifi hardware directly from Cox?
