I must have missed something. For my simplicity, I'll refer to your equipment as Dad's and Son's.
- Dad has a gigabit plan
- Son has a 150 Mbps plan
- Dad has a coax coming into his house
- I'll assume the coax is connected to a splitter
- 1 leg of the splitter is connected to Dad's modem (Panoramic WiFi Modem)
- 1 leg of the splitter is connected to Son's modem (CM1000)
- With both modems online, Cox assigns each modem a unique public IP address
- Therefore, Dad is paying Cox for 2 public IP addresses, yes?
- Dad's modem has connectivity
- Son's modem has connectivity with a laptop directly connected
- Meaning...Son's laptop has wired connectivty to the Internet
- Meaning...Son's laptop does NOT have wireless connectivity from Dad's Panoramic WiFi Modem
- Son's modem does NOT provide connectivity with a router connected
How is the CM1000 a bridge router? It's not a router.
Do you have the RAX80 in Bridge Mode?
Bruce you have it precisely correct!
Maybe I described it incorrectly. The CM1000 is a modem and not a router. It simply passes everything through to the RAX80 or laptop. Inside the control panel of the CM1000 I can set the "Starting Frequency" and reset the password. No other options are available. It is extremely simple.
I just checked and the RAX80 is not set to bridge mode. It is most likely set to factory defaults.
Starting Frequency
Did Cox provide you the starting frequency?
No, I haven't changed the starting frequency. It must be a factory default.
If you log into your Cox account at Cox.com, can you see both the Dad and Son’s modems?
There are reboots, resets and re-provisions. You have done multiple reboots by unplugging your Son’s modem, waiting a few minutes and plugging it back in. It merely reboots its configurations.
You do resets from your Cox account. It deletes the configuration and reloads it.
