in Internet
Strange thing I've noticed if I play an Online game or stream something on YouTube, my Internet cuts for about 1 minute every night at 23:59. What dumb setting I've I activated in my Fizz modem-router to have such a useless feature?

Interesting. Are you sure it's your internet connection, your modem/router or could it be the device you're using?
One way to isolate the cause is to try to reproduce this 1 minute interruption on more than 1 device. For example, watch YouTube on your laptop, as well as on your phone (using WiFi obviously), on your Chromecast and on your Firestick (for example).
If they all get cut 1 minute, then it maybe be your modem/router. If only one cuts, then it may be some configuration for that device.

Maybe, it's caused by the configuration of your modem/router.7

Well I game and stream video content on my computer which is wire directly on the Fizz modem-router. When it went down a couple of days ago same time), I also tried going on YouTube on my cell phone, not Internet until that minute passed.9 -
It could be a scheduled reboot, which can be set in dd-wrt for example.
As far as I can tell, the CODA-4680 does not have such a feature. Some people even look for it: https://community.fizz.ca/questions/2028915-automatically-reboot-modem
Is there any other networking (router, access point, etc) or power (UPS, smart plug, etc) device that might have a scheduled reboot feature which could be interrupting your connection?9 -

The only thing I replaced in my network is my old Dlink Router and Videotron modem for this Fizz modem-router combo, nothing else changed.

Never mind, found out what the issue was. I've used Mac filtering in my routers for the past 15 years and I made no exception for the one that Fizz provided me with. Only thing is, I just noticed the "Manage" feature next to each one of my devices. By default, it manages them everyday 24/7, guess when it reaches 23:59 is when it causes my issue. I can't turn it off or else it removes my device from Mac filtering and changing the time range makes the device offline during that off time.
What a stupid feature, guess I'll need to buy a gigabit router since I can't rely on this things and my old one was only 100mb/s. So much for saving money this year with Internet, gonna take a many months to break even with the cost of a new router.9 -

In that case maybe disable MAC filtering for now and see if the problem goes away.7

perhaps the security screen on modem administration page 107-118
The Security: Device Filter Screen
7.5 The Security: Keyword Filter Screen
7.2 The Security: Firewall Screen
all have a day management
you can find the doc on my post

Your configuration must be the problem2
-
Maybe you have an auto reboot setting
Can you verify that it s really your internet or the device you re using?
Do you have a backup that causes the internet to go down?3 -
Do a factory reset and see if your problem is resolved.3

So , did you fix your problem...if not join Fizz with messenger, its fast and easy2
