Default Looks like Cox is mimicking Comcast

John H. -- Hope you're having a great day!


They probably get the routers from the same company


The comcast router doesn't support 802.11ac 😟



I think you can get one that is from Comcast.

One of the problems with buying these devices from a cable supplier is
that you don't necessarily know ahead of time what features were "turned
off" in firmware, features that you might need that router to allow or
perform. Comcast cable boxes down here have several potentially useful
ports on their backside, for example, that are useless because the cable
company's firmware won't allow those features to be addressed. Also, the
description you kindly provided doesn't specify whether it is Version 1
of this router or the current Version 2, which has significant upgrades.
Oh, and it is $70 cheaper almost everywhere else!
