Cox Panoramic Wifi

response required

Panoramic Wifi is a marketing scheme designed to spend more money with Cox, but actually not give you any more coverage or use of the speed you pay for. I bought the Pods to “extend” my network from the driveway to the backyard for the WiFi security cams, but the coverage is awful, the furthest out cams (that are well within Cox coverage specs) only connect half the time, the speed to connect is awful and defeats the purpose of the cams. On top of that, now the Apple TV buffers on Netflix when it never did before. When installing Panoramic WiFi with Pods, you loose 5G and 2.4g networks, the Cox software determines the networks your devices connect to and the speeds... In my opinion an awful software that doesn’t work as advertised. Again, I would not go with Cox hardware, awful, slow, clunky, expensive, doesn’t work and their billing depart will screw you over. I would give zero stars if i could. TOTAL WASTE OF MONEY. Waiting for contract to expire and going to another internet provider. Take this review with the fact that I am a very savvy electronics and internet customer, i research a lot, not one to write reviews (but i read a lot of them) and i have called COX multiple times without help or improvement of the WiFi. Their customer service is terrible and their wait times on hold is awful.

Here’s what this app can do for you: allows parental controls, lets you reboot the router, lets you choose which wireless channel to use, enable/disable device access. That’s it. It’s so functionally limited that there is simply no reason to use this over using your router’s own admin panel. You will regret owning one of Cox’s Panoramic Wifi routers after seeing how locked down literally everything is. Update: developer stating the obvious. If the app intent wasn’t clear you’d get 0 stars. My suggestion is to make it as functional as the panoramic WiFi’s control panel at minimum. If you’re going to advertise this as not a utility to manage your network, but to just have a look-see and turn off someone’s access, then you should make it extra clear in the description that this app is in no way shape or form a means of managing your panoramic wifi network.

I’m so used to the regular Cox app, before the update- it was slow, buggy and it took AGES to load a page. Now I feel like I should be giving this app a few more weeks before I confirm my assumptions but I LOVE it! You can schedule down times, pause the wifi usage for just certain devices, it’s a great app! I’m not sure why it has so many terrible reviews. I’ve read through a few and I don’t have any of the problems others have talked about. Maybe I have the most updated version. Needless to say, it’s a great app and if you have children or if you just want to start fights with family members 😂 this app is for you.

Just recently upgraded to Gigablast Wi-Fi. App for iPhone version is functional for iPad set with a larger image as well as on a Windows PC browser, but will there be a specific iPad version in the future? Panoramic WiFi intercepts suspicious websites and notifies us which is a good safety feature that can be turned on and off. Using Technicolor DTS4141 Cox owned router (auto-updates firmware, Cox pushes these updates late at night and we noticed the router then reboots and is briefly off the air). Found assigning devices to a certain group troublesome. It simply does not assign devices. iPad Pro 9.7, iPhone Pro Max and latest iOS 13.4.1 and iPadOS 13.4.1 versions.

We LOVE this app!!! We have our family separated out in it and each device assigned to each family member as needed. With one touch I can pause the internet which is helpful for Xbox and other gaming systems, smart TVs, phones (of your phone is wi-fi only), computers, etc. it’s helped us keep our kiddos in “balance” with work and play, as well as allowed us to stay strong to the consequences we set for bad grades, not so smart decisions, etc. Also, we get a notification for new connections of anyone not already on our network which is awesome as well! Nice job Cox! 👏🏻👏🏻 Excited to see this app continue to improve!!
