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.
