Hi

Same issue as many reported here, including myself months ago when I got the new modem to try out as a tester...

During the trial, all you had to say was just plug back the "old" modem, which works perfectly and has no issues ; now that you asked to have it sent back, I don't have that option anymore, and it's not acceptable to have connection drop few times a day, even 5 seconds, while on conference call or streaming something (paying for 400/50 here..., single in my 500ft2 condo.... and again, NO issue with old modem located exactly at the same spot with the same coaxial, nothing different but the modem you forced me to use)

Online chat was helpless, only able to telling me that the signal was more than excellent on your side, that the new modems are the best, and that I should try to do everything I already did during the test period, and again before reaching out to you (separate the 2.4 from 5GHz, disable Wifi 6 in admin, try different channels, restart, unplug, factory reset the modem....)

I just did a test asking my kind neighbour from upstairs to let me use his wifi to stream something ; works with his eero6 something modem right away, even if the modem is not a meter away.... and it doesn't with mine, either on 5GHz or 2.4 (many attempts this morning in the last 3/4 hours)

I'm pretty sure my "new" modem is somewhat defective since day 1 of the test period, as I reported it to you guys.

Help or replace the defective unit please, or I'm just gonna have to cancel my service as I can't work from home that way

    Hi, install the Fizz Wi-Fi app to run diagnostics. The 2 modems may have different tolerances, so check the signal with support.

    Can't even use app most of the time, stuck on loading, not showing any decives connected while I have 10+...

    Not even able to reach the modem admin setting using the url address on Chrome most of time


    And they say while on chat signal is optimal and nothing bad at all

    I got my old modem replaced with the new CODA-5610Q around a month ago. So far zero issues on my side. Maybe indeed your modem is defective 🤔. Do you see if it reboots during the disconnects?

    Pretty sure it's been defective since day 1
    Doesn't seem to restart as I regain connection in 5-10s, just long enough to stop streaming or videoconference

    Gonna try again support to ask for a replacement, but not really helpful as of today
