Why does the wifi not work even when connected?

I live near guy Concordia metro in Montreal. All day (Oct. 14th) the internet has been down and I have to use my data. Is there an outage in my area? I have restarted my modem multiple times, but the problem has not gone away. This is a recurring problem. At least once a week I have to restart my modem because the wifi does not work, however today restarting it has not fixed the problem.

    Hi Olivia

    What lights are displayed on the front of the modem? This could help determine whether there is a problem in your area.

    Please try unplugging your modem from the electrical outlet for a few minutes. Also unplug the coaxial cable to make sure it is fits well in the modem and also at the wall outlet.

    Try restarting your modem.

    Hi Fizzy,
    I have attached a picture of the lights on my modem. The 5G light and the light above the 2G light are flashing.
    Thanks!

    Hi Olivia

    Your modem is well connected to Fizz network.

    Please check your account to make sure your plan payments are up-to-date.

    Then try restarting your devices (phone, tablet, laptop) as well.

    If the problem persists, you may try a factory reset of the modem. Press and hold the small button found behind the modem for 10+ seconds using a sharp object like a paper clip end.
    After this, you will need to redo any custom configurations done when you first received the modem.

    If the problem continues, you can contact customer support by chat, from 8 AM to 9 PM every day:

    1- Connect to your Fizz account by clicking « Login » in the top right corner at fizz.ca
    2- Any ad blockers in your browser should be disabled.
