I installed my modem today. All lights are fine and the wifi works but I cannot connect to the internet.

I activated the modem on my account and tried configuring it with the wifi app, it stays on the setup spinner screen forever.


I wrote to support 2 hours ago and they still haven’t answered.


I’ve already restarted it multiple times, according to the lights the cable seems to work (the lights are a solid blue).

    Support will most likely have you try the troubleshooting steps here: https://fizz.ca/en/faq/my-internet-service-not-working-what-do-i-do

    Try these and see if they help while you're waiting for support.

    According to the guide, the blue lights should mean that you're able to establish a connection but the @ sign should be solid for an internet connection.

    Seems like you're waiting on Fizz to activate your plan or they're unable to reach your modem to provision your internet.

    I haven’t moved in yet and live multiple hours from my new address, will support require me to take manual actions?

    Users have reported technicians being sent to the old address and having to reschedule.

    When you reach out to support, ask them to send a technician and have them confirm your new address so you won't have to deal with waiting a week or so for a reschedule and wasted time.

    Hello Lancelotbronner  ,

    Sorry to hear about the issue.

    I verified your account and it appears that the modem is offline - so in this case, I advise you to reach our customer service : https://fizz.ca/en/support as they will need a picture of the modem`s white label, where the MAC address can be seen specifically.

    Our team needs to confirm that the correct modem is registered in their tools before scheduling a technician appointment.

    I saw that you tried to reach them once, but the conversation was not taken by any agent as everyone had their hands full at that moment, so I advise you to insist once again.

    You can also leave us a private message ( click on our portrait ) but it might take a bit until we reply also .

    Thank you for your understanding.
    Have a good one,
