If your Cox router (or Panoramic Wi-Fi gateway) is blinking green, it typically indicates that the device is:🔄 Trying to establish an upstream connection (i.e., it’s not fully connected to the internet yet).
🔍 What the Blinking Green Light Means
Blinking Green = The router is trying to sync with Cox’s network.
It may occur:
During initial setup or reboot.
If there’s no or poor signal from the coax cable.
If Cox service is down in your area.
After a power outage or coax line disruption.
đź› How to Fix It
âś… 1. Check All Cable Connections
Make sure the coax cable is tightly connected to both the wall outlet and the router.
Avoid splitters if possible—they weaken the signal.
If using a splitter, ensure it’s rated for high-speed internet (5–1002 MHz).
âś… 2. Power Cycle the Router
Unplug the router from power.
Wait 60 seconds.
Plug it back in and wait up to 10 minutes for it to stabilize.
âś… 3. Bypass or Replace Coax Splitters
Try a direct connection to the wall outlet.
Faulty splitters are a very common cause of blinking green lights.
âś… 4. Try a Different Coax Outlet
If another coax jack is available, test the router there—it could be a bad outlet.
âś… 5. Check for Local Outages
Visit Cox’s outage page or use the Cox app.
Or call Cox at 1-800-234-3993 to confirm if your area is affected.
âś… 6. Factory Reset the Router (Last Resort)
Only do this if you’re comfortable reconfiguring your Wi-Fi settings.
Hold the reset button (tiny hole) for 10–15 seconds using a paperclip.
