home internet always glitches

Hi Lisa

Does the problem occur with WIFI only or even when you connect directly to modem via Ethernet cable?

Does it resolve by itself or do you have to restart the modem? Does the problem happen only when certain appliances (microwave), or wireless phone are being used at the same time? If other electronic devices are causing interference, you can change WiFi channel of the modem or relocate the modem away from those devices.

Please unplug the Fizz modem from the wall outlet for 2 minutes. Then restart it and try a speedtest using a device connected to the modem by ethernet cable.

If the issue occurs with WIFI only, you may benefit from disabling auto channel selection in your modem admin settings, and selecting a specific channel. You can find which channel is least congested by using a smart phone and downloading a WiFi analyzer app, which will show you the channels of nearby devices.

If the problem continues, you can try factory reset of the modem by pressing and holding down the small button behind the modem for 10+ seconds with a sharp object like paper clip.

Keep in mind that the maximum speed of your plan is the total bandwidth speed shared among all users in your home. If you require higher speed, you can change your plan: https://fizz.ca/en/faq/i-would-like-to-change-my-fizz-home-internet-plan-how-do-i-do-this

Lisa, if you have problem with the WiFi, you should also try to pick a different channel. There are phone apps (search your phone store for: wifi analyser) that they will help you to pick a better WiFi channel.

This change can be applied through the Wi-Fi modem user interface:
1. Log in at: http://192.168.0.1/login.htm from the web browser.
2. Log in using the following information:
username: cusadmin
your wifi password
3. Go to the next section to apply changes:

Wireless → General Settings → 5GHz → Band Steering (Disable)

Also change channels as needed.

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.

Wireless → General Settings → 5 GHz → Wireless channel

And also for the 2.4Ghz

Wireless → General Settings → 2.4 GHz → Wireless channel
