Cox will recognize your device on any Hotspot you have used within the last 180 days. For your security, you will be asked to sign in again to verify your username and password at least once every 180 days per hotspot, or if you access Cox WiFi on a different device.

While Cox makes reasonable efforts to provide a secure service, because the service is provided via wireless, we strongly recommend you ensure that any devices connected to the service have properly installed anti-virus / anti-malware solutions and that your operating system firewall is turned on to provide additional protection.  Cox cannot guarantee absolute security through Cox WiFi.

For Cox WiFi support, please call 877-836-2390 and speak to a representative.

If you are signed in to Cox WiFi and wish to disconnect, you will need to temporarily disable WiFi on your wireless device and wait for approximately 15 minutes. WiFi can usually be disabled and re-enabled by using a menu option or key press combination. Details vary depending on the type of device you are using, so consult the device manufacturer's documentation for more information.
 

Note: Cox WiFi will “remember” your device for the next 180 days, so the next time you connect during that timeframe your device will automatically connect to CoxWiFi.
