Advanced wifi security

Advanced Security protects all your wifi-connected devices—like laptops, wifi-connected cameras, and smart home hubs—from cyber threats by blocking malicious sites and identifying phishing attempts. You can even review blocked threats in the Cox Panoramic Wifi app anytime. The best part- it’s free and included at no extra cost with your Cox Panoramic Wifi service. 

There are a few ways to turn on Advanced Security in your Cox Panoramic Wifi app:

1. Sign into the Cox Panoramic Wifi app with your Cox User ID and Password (Need help getting your credentials? See how here )
2. Once on the home screen, tap the “Connect” icon at the bottom of the app
3. Tap the “Advanced Security” card
4. Tap “Turn on” at the bottom of the screen
5. If you don’t see the connect tab from your home screen, tap on the “Secure Your Network” card on the home screen. 
6. Now your network is protected from cyber threats like phishing and malicious websites.

Think of your Cox Panoramic Wifi app as your home wifi command center. This is where you turn on your free Advanced Security network protection, personalize your wifi settings, and view or control devices connected to your network. Get notified when a device joins your wifi network, or a phishing attempt is blocked, so you’re always in control. (On your phone, look for the app named “Cox Wifi”.)

The Cox App is your Account Management command center. It gives you the tools to easily manage your account, pay your bill, and get help. 

Get notified when a device joins your wifi network, or a phishing attempt is blocked.  Here’s how to turn on push notifications in the app: 
 

1. Log into the Panoramic Wifi app
2. Tap profile icon in the top left corner
3. Under the Notifications section, tap Notification Preferences
4. Check the box next to Network Access to get app notifications about changes in wifi settings that may impact your home wifi network. Then press Apply changes to save the settings

You can also check the box next to Network Activity, so you're notified when a device first joins your home wifi network, or if a profile is nearing the end of the active time you set for it. Press Apply Changes to save

You can also see any new notification activity in the Notifications Center. Here’s more info.

No, it’s currently only available through the Cox Panoramic Wifi app. You can download the Panoramic Wifi app here.

By using AI, Advanced Security can “learn” communication traffic patterns to recognize what’s normal and what isn’t for devices on a network — and then use that information to block cyber threats. Advanced Security protects all your connected devices, including smart devices, like doorbell cameras, network storage devices, streaming video players, printers, and smart appliances. Hackers run scans across the Internet to identify networks and devices with vulnerabilities and then exploit them; once a connected-home device is compromised, the malware typically scans other home network devices to spread a virus.
