Hi Joe,
It sounds like your issue might be related to network range or interference rather than the specific router setup. Before removing the TP-Link router, you could try a few things:
- Check for any firmware updates for both routers.
- Experiment with changing the Wi-Fi channel on your TP-Link router to avoid interference.
- Ensure that your security system's app is updated and compatible with your network settings.
If none of these solutions work, it might be worth trying to use the Cox Wi-Fi as both modem and router to see if that simplifies your network and resolves the issue. Just make sure to properly configure your network settings to handle the number of devices you have.
Best of luck!

Yes, you can potentially dispense with the TP-Link router and use the Cox Panoramic device as both modem and router connected to a Gigabit switch for your devices. You might be able to fix your remote access problems with this setup. You can do this:
1. Disable bridge mode on the Cox Panoramic device.
2. Configure the Cox device's Wi-Fi and routing features.
3. Connect your Gigabit switch to one of the Cox device's LAN ports.
4. Connect all your devices, including the security system, to the switch or Wi-Fi.
5. Set up port forwarding on the Cox device for your security system and cameras.
6. Update your mobile apps with the new network configuration.
This setup could improve your ability to access your home security system remotely. If issues persist, contact Cox support for assistance with their device's configuration. Good luck.
