How to change Reserved IP Address in the Port Forwarding menu on the Iphone app

On Cox panoramic wifi app on iphone, I can't find out how to change the Reserved IP Address for my device. There is no text prompt to change it.
Also, is there any way to port forward on the computer so I don't run into issues like this? The normal way just tells me to get the panoramic wifi app.

    To answer a two year old question for those getting here from search engine results:

    Reserved IP and DHCP configuration isn't accessible via the Cox Panoramic Wifi App. You'll need to navigate to the router control panel via your browser (PC preferable, but possible on mobile), which will be 192.168.0.1. From there, log in with the username and password (default: "admin" and "password", you'll be prompted to set a new one).

    In the router dashboard, select the "Connected Devices" menu option and find the device you want to configure. Hit Edit, then click the option button to switch from DHCP to Reserved IP.

    If your device is not already connected but needs a reserved IP, you can select the option for "Add device with reserved IP" and add its MAC address.

  • Hi Shelleyt1. To set up port forwarding in the Cox Panoramic Wifi app, you will need to access the advanced settings, tap on the Connect tab, then See Network. From the My Network screen, tap Advanced Settings. The following options display which is located in www.cox.com/.../cox-panoramic-wifi-app-features.html. Thanks, Lisa Cox Support Forums Moderator

      Those are the settings to to port forwarding. OP asked how to reserve a IP address. Do you have those settings in the app by any chance?

        I think the only way to reserve an IP address is the change the address list from starting at 192.168.0.2 to something like 192.168.0.10, so you can manually assign the ip addresses 2-9 to specific devices in their network settings.
