Does anyone use the CODA-4680 as a Wi-Fi Router? and if so how is the performance for you?
I'm using an old AirPort Extreme and I was wondering to free some counter space for my small studio if the CODA-4680 was any good. Its a very small place and I have the 120mbps plan.
Thank you in advance!

The majority of FIzz’s customers are using the modem as router with the WiFi functionality
It is a basic router, but for the normal users is more than enough14 -
For someone who uses lots of bandwidth for downloading, is it recommendable?11

Normally for a router some protocol are more cpu intensive than other
Torrent is one of the worst since is communicating with multiple machines in the same time with important traffic.
You should not have any specific issue, the biggest problem for this kind of router, is the wifi signal, but for a studio must be more than enough13 -
Hi Samuel
We are 4 using the Fizz modem router. There is no problem to handle the bandwidth capacity of your plan. However when using the wifi, we notice the 5 GHz frequency can easily handle the plan bandwidth, whereas the 2.4 GHz frequency will yield at least 1/2 of the bandwidth capacity.
If you are already a Fizz internet subscriber, you can perform a factory reset of the modem and conduct some tests.
If you're a new or potential client, welcome to Fizz!
For any new customers, this is a good time to join Fizz as they are giving $50 bonus credit to new subscribers (until January 6 2021).
If you need a referral code, there is a list here:

You can choose mine or the code of someone who has helped you.
To be transparent, both parties will receive the bonus credit once you have paid your second bill.10 -
Hi, this is my second answer (the first seems to have disappeared)...
Fizz router is good for average user who don't need long wifi range (no problem in your case), basic fonctions only (like detailed data meeter, logs, etc). First try it, then evaluate if it is ok for your needs. Pay attention to air flow around, it is a bit warmer (40-44 celsius) than my asus router (29-32).11 -
I've been using Coda-4680 as a router over a year without problem until now.
You should try. If it doesn't work for you then go back your router.3 -
Hi All,
Thank you all for your responses.
I have tested the CODA and finally decided to stick to my Airport Extreme, i will use the CODA if it dies on me.
Thank you3
