Hello everyone,

I am asking for help, my modem doesn't work and I have no access to Internet, there is only the power light on, all other lights are off, is there something I can do to fix this?

Thank you in advance

    Hi @Mourad H. #13027

    The first light says the power is on.

    The second light should be about looking for a Fizz signal. Not having that light is not a good sign, maybe the Fizz network is out or unreachable.

    Is the coaxial cable intact and well connected on both ends? If yes, try unplugging it for a few minutes.

    Contacting Fizz would be the fastest troubleshooting since they can

    • verify if there is an incident or maintenance work carried out in your area affecting services
    • check your account status
    • check your modem status if it works within optimal parameters, if its signals are alright and also its history (like recent signal fluctuations). They can check for package loss or broadcast congestion.

    Other solutions:

    • rebooting the device
    • going back to factory settings, a bit long and inconvenient but a good all around test. You will loose all configurations though like wifi name+password.

    I usually contact them through facebook messenger. There is also a green bubble when you log on through the fizz webpage. https://fizz.ca/en/faq/partner-networks

    Wait a couples of seconds and a green bubble with the interogation mark will appear, when you click on it there will be a chat option.

    To chat with Fizz:

    1. Go to a FAQ page e.g. https://fizz.ca/en/faq/status-services
    2. Look bottom right for the big green question mark (?)
    3. Click it, a bubble will appear
    4. Submit your question with possibly a relevant screenshot or modem photo 
    5. After that will be displayed the number of customers preceding you, to manage your expectations. Updated real time.

    ALTERNATIVELY, try leaving a message on Facebook Messenger, iMessage or Twitter private. The advantages of their tool are the management of waiting times and the ability to print (e.e. PDF) a copy of the conversation for your records.


    The "?" not visible or does nothing? Make sure…

    • you really are on a FAQ page e.g. https://fizz.ca/en/faq/resolving-issues
    • you scroll through the page and after 10-15 seconds the ? bubble will appear in the bottom right corner of the page.
    • you are really logged in with your account. Disconnect explicitly, close any Fizz tab, clear your cookies, reconnect.
    • no browser extension blocks its appearance (ad blocker or plugins like "NoScript").
    • try in incognito mode
    • javascript is enabled
    • to empty your cache
    • try with a different browser
    • try on another device

    Idefizz already provided helpful information.

    I just heard from many of my friend in Mtl that the internet is horrible today, so maybe there might be some overall connectivity problems.
