The Power Light is Blinking and the Wifi isn't available to connect to
It's been working fine for over a year now but since the beginning of this week the Wi-fi doesn't work anymore. The Power Light is blinking and I can't connect to my Wi-fi with the app or any device. I tried to restart it a few times with no chance and a factory reset as well but the light is still blinking.
I'm out of options.. My roommate thinks lightning struck near the apartment complex because we lost power for a few minutes earlier this week. I wasn't there but could the router have fried or been overworked?

Looks like your modem can't receive the signal. Try to disconnect the coaxial cable and connect it back, try to use another power outlet, etc.

Hello
I will like to suggest to unplug the modem ( let it cool down for a while )... Move it in a well ventilated area... Do consider resetting your Wi-Fi modem to its factory settings again.
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.

It's impossible to get hold of the customer support. It's the second time today that I am first in the waiting line then I get flushed down to the beginning again.

Hello there @edouard20 !
I see that you reached out to us later that day and that my colleague has created an appointment for a technician to come by your household.
Given that the issue has been addressed, I'll go ahead and close this post.
Cheers!
