Hello, i have 200 mbps internet but the wifi is around 30 Mbps even when I am next to the modem. what is going on? Is it possible because my devices can not do 5G?

    Hello Nikolaos, have you tried restarting your Fizz Wi-Fi modem? This might fix the problem. If it doesn’t, you should probably create a ticket through your Fizz account or chat with Fizz support.

    Hope this helps,

    Simon

    Hi @Nikolaos

    If your device don't have the 5Ghz this means that it is an old device therefore your speed is limited by this.

    Can yu try to disable the band steering?

    Your Fizz Wi-Fi modem uses by default the to 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.  

    The modification of this option is possible thanks to the mobile application Fizz Wi-Fi:

    Choose: ''My Wi-Fi''

    Select your Wi-Fi network

    Select: ''Advanced Settings''

    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 ->Advanced -> 2.4 Ghz or 5Ghz -> Band Steering (Disable)

     

    If you do not remember the password you entered during setup, press and hold the "Reset" button behind the modem to reset your Wi-Fi modem back to its factory settings.

    I didn't think you could actually get such high speeds over wifi. Personally, I use the RJ-45 cable for greater stability and speed with my computer.

    Contact Fizz if the problem persists.
