How do I change my DNS with COX panoramic Router?
I have a cox panoramic router. I want to switch to Open DNS as my DNS servers for security reasons, as I am seeing frequent attacks on the router that I have been able to trace back as originating from the ISP DNS servers. However, I do not see any options for DNS in the panoramic router config options.17KViews0likes2CommentsRoot Certificate not installed following email settings update

We just switched to the panoramic with the combined router and modem. We discovered later that the Cox removed the Guest Wifi option from their routers (super frustrating!!). Guest networking is basic functionality of a wireless router so I am very disappointed that Cox has gotten rid of this feature. As a work around, I tried setting up a new user as GuestWifi just for accessing the Cox Hot Spots but it won't work because even after removing all access, anyone using the login can still see our bill, pay our bill (ok maybe thats not so bad LOL), see our account number, etc....I'm sharing this part for others so they don't waste time with it. Next, we thought about connecting our old router to the new pano combined router/modem (basically using one modem with two routers). In concept, if I plug one end of the ethernet cable into the LAN port of the primary router, then plug the other end of the cable into the LAN port on the back of the second router, I'm thinking it'll work. But how do I set them up to show as different wifi logins? When I go into the router setup, how do I get into two different routers? Has anyone done this part of it?4KViews0likes11CommentsSOON TO BE 2021 ... AND THE COX WEB-MAIL "SPAM BOMBARDMENT" STILL CONTINUES
https://ibb.co/gFPnY57 The infestation that's getting through Cox mail servers has got so bad that it's outright inexcusable, and I dread every moment when it comes time to check my email. In many ways it seems like Cox is a magnet for attracting not just spam, but other exploits, such as spoofing, phishing and pharming. Stuff that cyber-criminals use to deliver malware, attract victims to malicious websites or to steal confidential and sensitive data. In all honestly, I get more garbage than legitimate messages that it's become a frustrating chore sifting through the mess it creates.Not to mention the hours I've wasted in the daunting task of creating over a hundred, non-effective, "filter rules" to weed out some of the reoccurring pests.In fact my Inbox looks no different then my Spam folder, each containing a mixture of both spam and legitimateemails (just as the image shows above). "Marking" an email as spam is a joke too, and you’re a fool in trying to utilize that option because it does absolutely nothing. Perhaps it’s because protective measures are not being implemented by the server. But even if they were, I shouldn’t be receiving the samegarbageevery single day. And just to prove I'm not exaggerating, here a "small list" of the garbage accumulated in a typical work week: SelectHomeWarranty, Gadget Junkies, Leaf Filter Discount, Sams Club reward, CVS Pharmacy Survey, AltaiBalance, Truth_Finder, Caringforaparent.com, VeteranInsuranceDiscounts, Support Center, Soft Erections, Home Solar Survey, PowerPro-PowerSaver, FreezAir Pro, UV PhoneSanitizer|SterilizerXf, Talcum-powder-lawsuit settlement.com, TalcumPowderLawsuit, Dream Home Ideas, Pest Control, Max-Performer, ProbioticEase|Special, Dear Beneficiary, eharmony Partner, Protect Your Home - ADT Premier Provider, awesomestuff2buy.com, Exclusive Tactical Flashlight, NationalConcealedAcademy, REPLY ME URGENTLY, Wheel of Fortune, FRONTLINE KN95 Facemask, Vivint.SmartHome, Gemini Trust, AAGMortgage, Premium Mattresses by Lull, BANK OF CHINA, SeniorsDiscountsClub Info, PowerPro-PowerSaver, Nutrisystem Discount, BestCarInsurance, Pure Radiance, TommyChong, BoyScoutsAbuseLawsuit.com, Anti-Virus Protection, EZBatteryReconditioning, seniorperks, Boundery eBulb, Nerve Renew Wes, RoundUp Lawsuit, Walk-in Safety Tub, GutterProtector.coPromo, SunPower Promo, Buy Mask Shield, Male Enhancement, InjurySurvey.com Info, Cannabis Gummies, DoGoodPoints, SNOWTeethWhitening, FreeFlashlight, Enlarged Prostate, PlatinumAutoWarranty, BathroomRenovationShop, USAMilitarySavings Info, RoofingSurvey, Oil Change Coupons, Diet Legends Keto Fuel, NationalConcealedAcademyTraining, Smart Living Tips, ZantacInjuryHelp.com, ShopThePersonalButcher Ad, Nutrition Tips, FundsForVictims, Crepe Erase. Not only is it enough to make your head spin, but it's an issue that's shared with thousands of other Cox customers who are equally just as frustrated. In fact this abuse has been going on way too long and it's about time that the company finally takes immediate action to combat these security issues - rather than continuing to ignore them over the years by neglecting the basic techniques for securing their systems - and thus leaving us vulnerable. Frankly, I strongly feel that we as consumers deservemore consideration than what we've been getting, as well as receiving the best protection against alloutside threats. After all, if Gmail can protect their users from spam and other exploits for free, then why can't Cox at least tryby doing the same?With that said, I'm convinced that Cox is technologically behind the eight-ball and is seriously in need of updating or adding more security layersto get back up to speed. Please weigh in if you agree. NOTE TO MODERATOR: Judging by the many posts on this particular subject during the past several years, this has been an ongoing issue that has yet to be resolved. Since this is forum open for discussion, it would be greatly appreciated that you allow more ample time for comments and/or suggestions to be heard before making the final decision of marking this thread as locked. Thank you.3.9KViews0likes11CommentsEnabling MoCA Privacy on Technicolor CGM4141
Hello everyone. I'm having some trouble enabling MoCA Privacy on my new cable modem from Cox. I can see on the configuration page that privacy is disabled: However when I click Edit there is no option to enable privacy: On my old Arris modem there was a checkbox to enable privacy which allowed you to put the PIN for your MoCA devices. Any advice? I would rather not install a PoE filter since the cable enters the house at a difficult to reach area... I also talked to phone support who said I should talk to Techincolor, but their support page says that the service provider will support the device in the U.S. Thanks in advance!3.7KViews0likes0CommentsDisabling Panoramic Wifi Advanced Security Sevice
Hi all, I'm setting up port forwarding to get remote access to a home desktop and have verified functionality by disabling the security service to allow port forwarding. Couple questions related to this - 1) What are the implications of disabling this service? The my-services-disabling page warns that you'll lose "24/7 threat monitoring and real-time reporting." Does this include IP-Reputation blocks or are those always made regardless? Any other valuable features besides the audit log (and stuff on https://www.cox.com/residential/support/cox-panoramic-wifi-app-advanced-security-service.html)? 2) Allow Access functionality - a) Can it be extended past 1 hr? If I were to able keep the security service on and allow access for a given IP for 1 business day (or even longer, really) it would be much more useful. b) Can you get faster access to notifications than is provided via the wifi.cox.com page? It seems hit or miss on how responsive it is. I haven't tried the mobile app yet; I try to keep as little on my phone as possible. 3) Bonus Question! I've noticed I can ssh into the machine even with the security service enabled for about 30sec before the pipe breaks. Any guesses? Not super important, but curious. Thanks in advance for any assistance!2.8KViews0likes3CommentsCox keeps sending me another customer's info.
Cox keeps sending me someone else's payment acknowledgements. Has been for years off and on. Same person's mail every time, complete with their account number, email address and last 4 of payment method. If I was malicious, I'd be halfway to stealing their cox identity and jacking with their account. I have complained every time. I have talked to supervisors 3 times in the last 6 months. They continue to do it. Seems in their effort to stop this, they have stopped sending me my own bill reminders. They confirmed my email is not on the other account as a secondary email and they were basically stumped. It is a security issue. They refuse to get someone with brains to fix it. I told them the last two times I talked to supervisors if they didn't have it fixed I'd be posting publicly about their lack of security practice and their lack of taking this issue seriously. This is me doing that, because yesterday I just got the person's info yet again. Next stop, EFF and other security watchdogs. As with everything Cox, anything that I contact them about becomes a nightmare of non-action on their part. How do you know that Cox isn't sending YOUR information to total strangers?? Based on this, you don't.2.7KViews0likes5CommentsPanoramic wifi port forwarding not working as expected.
Trying to port forward. And it will let me do it but not in the method im wanting. external(1234) -> Internal Port(4321) (192.168.x.x) for example all my old routers allowed me to set whatever external port i wanted and route it to the appropriate internal port number. Ive searched everywhere and it it only allows to set external only? Or am i missing something. Really trying hard to keep with cox standard equipment but i have a feeling they may force my hand and get my own router.1.6KViews0likes0CommentsIs it just me or is this a HUGE Security issue?
So today i was trying to forward some ports for my PC and i realized that Cox has now moved their port forwarding screen to a site that is not on the traditional router login settings and has moved to Wifi.cox.com Upon logging in to wifi.cox.com I realized that all of your router information is right there on the screen!! this info includes your Wifi Passwords , mac addresses of all connected devices and a bunch more info. Now, i know to your typical home user this might not be concerning. but to the people that actually know some technical aspects , this information, if in the wrong hands, can do some damage. This is my first time even realizing this Wifi.cox.com even existed. If its been around for awhile then that is ignorance on my part. but if it is a new thing cox needs to get it together ASAP. Another reason that this is bothersome to me is because Cox offers NO SECONDARY AUTHENTICATION. So someone literally just needs your cox email and password and can see all this information. At least give us a better sense of mind by letting us stop unwanted access to our account!!.1.1KViews0likes1Comment
