Tips for managing your Cox internet service

A good internet connection at home is more important than ever now that millions of Americans are working from home and taking classes online. Follow these helpful tips to ensure your Cox internet is fast and reliable when you need it most. 

Monitor your data usage: Activities that use the most amount of data include streaming 4K and HD video content (like Netflix, Hulu or Amazon Prime), gaming and using doorbell and security cameras. To help slow your data consumption, try disabling auto-play on streaming apps and changing video camera settings, such as lowering the camera’s resolution when you are at home.

Place your equipment in a central location: Keep your Wi-Fi modem, router or wireless extender in a central location and ensure that your equipment is away from any metal objects to avoid interference. 

Reboot your modem: If you are experiencing unreliable internet, try rebooting your modem and devices by powering them off and then turning them back on. 

Pause all other devices using Wi-Fi: The number of devices that are connected to your Cox home internet can slow down your internet. If you are working from home and have an important call, you can temporarily pause all other devices in your home using the Panoramic WiFi App.
