What happens when Cox goes down?

No connection to any websites or services, modem shows offline status or constant blinking lights.

How do I troubleshoot Cox issues?

1
Restart your modem and router
Unplug both devices for 30 seconds, then plug modem first, wait 2 minutes, then plug in router.
2
Check cable connections
Ensure coax cable is tight on both modem and wall outlet. Loose connections cause intermittent issues.
3
Test with ethernet cable
Connect directly to modem via ethernet to rule out WiFi issues. If wired works, the problem is your router or WiFi.
4
Check for local outages
Visit cox.com/support or use the Cox app to see if there's a reported outage in your area.
5
Contact Cox support
If troubleshooting fails and no outage is reported, contact Cox support via app, website, or phone.
