Just activated the modem. Downloaded the application. All the lights are on (as per what's listed in the manual that's provided).

both my phone and my computer say the password is incorrect. Has anyone else experienced this?

    Hi @kathy_mula1234

    Wait 15 minutes before try to connect on it

    During the first 15-20 mins the modem is doing all kind of updates and configuration


    Activate your modem (if applicable*)

    Log in to your Fizz account. 

    You should see a tile with your order details in the Overview section. If not, go to My settings ­>­­ Order history.  

    Activate your modem. It will then switch to the speed associated with your plan.  

     

    *If an installation appointment with a technician was scheduled with your Home Internet order, this step does NOT apply to you. 

    Write down your modem’s info
    Locate the network name (Default Wi-Fi Network) and password (Default Key) printed on the back of your Wi-Fi modem. Make sure not to confuse similar characters such as O and 0, as well as I and 1.

    The modern is doing updates, please wait for 15-20 minutes... If not you can consider resetting your Wi-Fi modem to its factory settings, and restart again the process👇

    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 - 20 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.

    On my account it says the wifi is active (the modem has been activated). It just won't connect with the password provided. I have entered it at least a dozen times respecting the upper/lower case.

    The modem has reset it self automatically as the manual states it would. Still no luck

    He meant that it is three weeks that the support is slow for some reason.

    Can you try to connect to the modem with a computer and a ethernet cable? If you can do, with the browser go to 192.168.0.1

    Is the name of the wifi start with Fizz or Coda?

    he probably did an update, a reset on his own, I don't think

    Reset your Wi-Fi modem to its factory settings

    I will leave to them, we cannot repeat the same thing over and over, and you will not understand anything

    I had a similar issue where I thought the lower case "L" was an uppercase "i" or a 1. Try that
