since the time power outage has been resolved in Brossard, my fizz internet is down.

I only see downstream flashing, I might have rebooted modem 3-4 times but still nothing

Tried contacting support on messenger and WhatsApp, no human connection acquired (maybe due to Sunday)

posting here as my last option.

Hoping for some answers

    Hello,

    @Mystic

    They must be very busy today, indeed!

    You can consider resetting your Wi-Fi modem to its factory settings
    IMPORTANT: This will reset any changes that have been made to your Wi-Fi modem settings to date. You may also need to reconfigure your devices’ Wi-Fi settings (network name, password, etc.).

    Using a small, sharp object, press the modem’s reset button for 10 seconds.

    Once your modem has restarted ( after about 15 minutes ), follow the same instructions you used when you initially installed it.

    Reminder: The default username (Default Wi-Fi network) and password (Default key) for your Wi-Fi network are written on a sticker on the back of your Wi-Fi modem.

    Try manually selecting different Wi-Fi channels on your modem:
    A series of channels are available on each frequency (2.4 and 5 GHz) of your Wi-Fi modem. Interference can have an impact on these channels.
    Manually changing the channels used for your Wi-Fi connection can improve your modem’s signal. ...
    Choose a channel that’s far from the one your modem currently uses, and test it for a few days to see whether things improve or not. Ex. Go from channel 6 to 11. Or, from channel 6 to 1:

    Option 1: With the Fizz Wi-Fi app.

    1. Once in the app, choose My Wi-Fi.
    2. Select your Wi-Fi network.
    3. Select Advanced settings.
    4. You’ll see Wi-Fi 2.4 and Wi-Fi 5. Select a different channel for each frequency

    Option 2: With a browser.

    1. Connect to your Wi-Fi network.
    2. Open the browser on any device, and enter the address 192.168.0.1
    3. Log in using these credentials:

    Username: cusadmin
    Password: (Enter your password, the one you chose when you initially configured your network)

    4. In the green bar, select Wireless.
    5. Then select:

    Basic settings
    5 GHz and/or 2.4 GHz
    Wireless channel

    6. Select a different channel.

    If in doubt you can always consult with the customer support: https://fizz.ca/en/faq/my-wi-fi-network-cutting-how-do-i-fix-it#6 https://fizz.ca/en/support

    Looks like the status service is up and running… still contacting support remains a priority!

    Hello,

    @Mystic

    Try to survey, the "@" light on your modem periodically, and if it is lit up and stable, it means that your connection has been restored, and you will need to restart the modem by disconnecting the power cable from the back for 30 seconds and plugging it back in. 🤞

    Hello Mystic  ,

    Sorry to hear about the issue.

    Basically there was a situation with a power outage on Hydro Quebec`s side and it took a bit longer for the network hubs to regain power also.
    So even if you had electricity the network hubs that were powered by them did not have the power and that`s why the service was not working.

    On another note, I see that the modem is now online and fully up and running.

    Restart your modem  ( unplug it from the power outlet and plug it back in ) and check if the connection is working.

    Reach our customer service : https://fizz.ca/en/support if you still have issues.

    Have ae good one,

    I have the same issue right now. Can't contact a human and no internet. I rebooted everything (devices and router) a couple of times, flushed DNS, I can login in 192.168.0.1 no problem. Just no internet.
