Have you forgotten your Cox Wifi password? Or you need to set or change a password for your network for the first time? Needless to say, your Wi-Fi network without a strong password allows hackers to steal your personal and sensitive information. And, not only does your sensitive personal information become vulnerable to hackers, but they can access the sites you frequently visit, what you post online, which links you click on, and more.
