What are the Wi-Fi technologies used at Fizz?

Fizz uses an all-in-one Wi-Fi modem that includes a Wi-Fi router. This device ensures an exceptional online experience by optimizing Wi-Fi services throughout your residence and on all your devices. 

 

It is compatible with Wi-Fi 5 802.11a/b/g/n/ac standards for Wi-Fi connectivity. It is not compatible, however, with Wi-Fi 6: 802.11ax. 

  

The benefits of using a Fizz Wi-Fi modem include: 

• An all-in-one modem and router 

• Powerful dual band support 

• Secure wireless connectivity 

• An easy configuration interface 

• Works in conjunction with the Fizz Wi-Fi app so you can optimize your Wi-Fi network, as well as diagnose, if need be, any glitch that presents itself.    

 

Model CODA-4680: 

• Supports Wi-Fi 5 standards: 802.11a/b/g/n/ac. 

• Can reach speeds of up to 3.5 Gbps. 

• Works with WPA2 security protocol. 

• Wi-Fi 2.4 GHz: 802.11n dual-band 3x3. 

• Wi-Fi 5 GHz: 802.11ac Wave 2 MU-MIMO 4x4. 

 

Model CODA 5610Q: 

• Available with a new subscription to the 940 Mbps plan only

• Supports Wi-Fi 6 standards: 802.11ax. 

• Can reach speeds of up to 9.6 Gbps. 

• Works with WPA3, the latest Wi-Fi security protocol. 

• Wi-Fi: 802.11ax 4x4 on both 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz bands. 

• Allows better management of long-range connections, reducing signal loss, ideal for large spaces or those spanning 2+ floors. 

• Allows a larger number of devices (up to 100) to connect simultaneously, improving network efficiency and reducing congestion. 

Wi-Fi band steering is a technology used to deploy dual Wi-Fi bands that allow compatible devices to primarily use the more powerful and less problematic 5 GHz band.

With the band steering function, only one Wi-Fi network name will be displayed. Each compatible device will automatically connect to its optimal frequency (2.4GHz or 5 GHz) to make the user experience seamless.

 

Modifying this option is possible thanks to the Fizz Wi-Fi app:

1. Choose ''My Wi-Fi''
2. Go to the settings (gear wheel icon) 
3. Activate/Deactivate the Band steering option 

 

The Fizz Wi-Fi app is available for free on: 

• Google Play 

• App Store 

 

The Fizz Wi-Fi app is available free of charge in the Apple Store and Google Play Store.

 

You can also adjust band steering using Fizz Wi-Fi modem user interface:

1) Open a web browser on any device and navigate to: 192.168.0.1

2) Connect using the following information:

• Username: cusadmin
• Password: xxxxxxxx (enter the new password you selected during initial configuration)

 

3) Navigate to to the following section to make any changes:

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

 

You'll need your Wi-Fi network password. If you can't remember it, you'll need to recover it. 

How to recover my Wi-Fi password

 

Both Wi-Fi frequency bands (2.4 GHz and 5 GHz) offer a range of channels to optimize the quality of your Wi-Fi connection.

The Fizz Wi-Fi modem has an optimization feature, allowing it to automatically select the best channel for each connected device, based on the needs at that time.

 

The automatic Wi-Fi channel optimization  is enabled by default on all Fizz Wi-Fi modems to ensure state-of-the-art service.
