Please make your test from the App or a computer connected with the ethernet cable
Your Fizz Wi-Fi modem uses by default the frequency band steering technology. When this function is disabled, the Wi-Fi modem will display two (2) frequency bands, 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz. Manually select the 5 GHz from your devices.
The modification of this option is possible thanks to the mobile application Fizz Wi-Fi:
1- Choose: ''My Wi-Fi''
2- Select your Wi-Fi network
3- Select: ''Advanced Settings''
4- Band Steering ''On/Off''
The Fizz Wi-Fi app is available for free at various online stores (Apple Store and Google Play Store).
This change can also be applied through the Wi-Fi modem user interface:
1. Log in at: 192.168.0.1 from the web browser of any device.
2. Log in using the following information:
Username: cusadmin
Password: xxxxxxxx (Password you chose during initial setup)
3. Go to the next section to apply changes:
Wireless → General Settings → 5GHz → Band Steering (Disable)

@Mike
I did what you said and I am now down to 8mbps, still lengths from the promised 60mpbs.
Is there something else that can be done?4 -
Nicolas,
Have you do your speed test with an ethernet câble?
To get this speed 10 mbs is not normal by wi-fi.
Please, disable the band-steering like Mike suggest to you and ATS.
If nothing changes, please, contact the Fizz support by chat from 8h00 to 21h00.
First, connect you to your Fizz account and types:

When you see it, click on it.

Like Mike suggest the best way to do a speed test is via an Ethernet cable via a computer. Via wifi you can introduce latency and/or you might drops some packets to avoid this use an Ethernet cable via a laptop or a Desktop pc/mac. Via wifi you can fight for some bands let me explain. If you neighbors use the same band or a band close to what you use it's create interference. A microwave can do the same thing because it's use the same frequency of our wifi router. It is why you should do your test via a cable. Rhe router and your phone or laptop can have a crapy wifi chip too so with all this we can't (us/user of fizz) tell you what is the problem.4

True, this is one of the things I dont like about the technology Fizz currently uses. (But at the price they charge its ok I think) There is no way to guarantee the real download speed as area traffic has a significant influence. Perhaps one day, when fiber-optics technology comes to fizz...3

Hi Nicolas!
I think it's a signal problem from Fizz to your modem, you lost so much packets, you speed is reduced, or something like this related to a signal problem! Fizz is a company owned by Videotron.
It's been a pleasure to assist you! Have a nice day!
Don't hesitate to mark my answer as the best!0 -
hello, I hope your problem is solved. can you please choose your best answer.thank you and have a nice day0
