Have ATT Uverse & it always drops the internet connection. I reset the main 2wire box weekly. The little router by my desktop is the problem - I have to disconnect & reconnect several times per day - especially if I leave windows open but idle

Check with 2wire website for a newer firmware version. if you are able to update to a newer version and still have problems, then your router is on its way out.

Same problem here, they sent me a new modem and same day dropped out. It's U-verse, I wish I had NEVER changed from their DSL, you can't even buy third party modems with uversre it is att only eqp. I hate u-verse and am thinking of starting a class action, if they can't get their act together quit. Tired of talking to idiots in Inda also..

SOURCE: CAN A 2WIRE DSL ROUTER WORK WITH A CABLE INTERNET CONEECTION

The 2wire dsl modem/router cannot be use with a another cable modem , since this 2wire device is also a modem/router and its made for the DSL conenction that's why it wont work with Cox cable, the best thing that you can do is to ask Cox to give a wireless modem/router like this 2wire so you can still use the wireless connection of your computer..

Hope that helps..........

SOURCE: Can I use 2WIRE 2701HG-B router in COX internet connection

No. A router has 2 main interface types WAN (for the internet connection side, and LAN (for the home network side) the 'LAN' side often has up to 4 ports and wireless connectivity for the home network.

The most common routers available at electronics retail use a CAT-5 connection for the WAN ports and the LAN ports. Your DSL modem/router uses a phone line input for it's WAN port, which uses a signal type that is incompatible with the cable modem output.

If COX doesn't offer a router with the cable modem package, you can go and purchase and common brand of home networking router, and attach it to the output of the cable modem.
