    Hi Anastasia

    Make sure your modem is standing upright and the plastic wrapping has been completely removed. How many lights are lit on the modem? There are supposed to be 6 lights.

    Leave the modem plugged in. It can take several minutes for the modem to complete the required firmware updates. If there is no improvement, you must contact Fizz customer service using the chat.

    What color are the second and third lights? If those are blue and the other lights are green, then your internet should be working. Can you try testing the internet by connecting your computer to the modem with an ethernet cable?

    Hi Anastasia

    if you still have problem you should try a factory reset, here's how to do it:

    Using a thin, pointed object, hold the restart button on the back of the modem for 10+ seconds. 

    Once your modem has restarted, follow the same instructions as when you first installed it.  

    IMPORTANT: this operation will reset any changes that have been made to the settings of your Wi-Fi modem to date. You may also have to reconfigure the Wi-Fi settings of your devices (network name, password, etc. .) 

    The default username of your Wi-Fi network, as well as the corresponding password, are written on a sticker affixed to the back of your Wi-Fi modem (Default Wi-Fi network and Default key).

    If all else have fails, it could also be a defective unit, so I suggest you to contact fizz directly tomorrow morning.

    I've seen that this week, a modem was unfunctionel so they replace it by another one...


    Hope it will soon be resolved.😕
