  • What is my wifi password?
    Your wifi password is the Pre-Shared Key located on the white label underneath your modem. Make sure to put the capital letters where it applies.
  • How do I login to my modem?
    To access the modem, enter the following IP address in your address bar: http://192.168.0.1. An ARRIS page will come up. Your username is admin or cusadmin and your password is password. *If you choose to change your SSID and password, make sure to leave the 5G at the end of your 5GHz band in order to avoid conflicts on your network.
  • I see all five (5) lights on the modem but my devices won't connect on the wifi.
    Make sure to use the proper SSID for your network. This information can be found on the white label underneath your modem. If it still won't connect, unplug the modem from the power source for a couple minutes and try again.
  • The US/DS light is flashing on my modem.  What does that mean?
    This is normally related to a line issue. Please try the following steps: Make sure the coaxial cable is screwed in tight in the wall outlet and into your modem. Unplug the modem from the power source for 2 minutes and plug it back in. Then wait 5 minutes to see if the problem remains. Press and hold for the reset button at the back of your modem for 15 seconds, using a pin or a pen. This will reset your wireless settings to factory default. Still flashing after 5 minutes? Call our tech support team at 1-833-636-8324 to have a certified cable technician dispatched to your location.
  • My wifi coverage is not as far as it should be.  What should I try?
    The wifi router built into the modem that we provide has two bands: the 2.4GHz and the 5GHz. In order to reach further, use the 2.4GHz. Your 2.4GHz band is the SSID (wireless name) without the -5G at the end. It is also recommended to install your modem on an upper floor level instead of the basement. This will also increase your reach. If you still need more range, contact your local IT specialist in order to get the proper equipment to extend your signal.
  • My speed test results on wifi are way lower than what I am subscribed to.  Howcome?
    The wifi router built into the modem that we provide has two bands: the 2.4GHz and the 5GHz. In order to have maximum speed over wifi, use the 5GHz. Your 5GHz band is the SSID (wireless name) with the -5G at the end. Obviously, the closer you are to the modem, the higher the speed will be. Another setting that can be changed for wifi speed is by changing your wireless security to "Most Compatible". You can do so by logging into your modem. In the Wireless 2.4 GHz / Wireless 5GHz section, change the security mode to "Most Compatible" then click Apply. Please also make sure that you are not connected to both bands on your devices. Otherwise, they will try to battle between one an other and it will then make your connection much more unstable.
  • I have poor speed test results.  What can I do to improve this?
    Speed test is a great tool in order to find out if your network is slower than what it should be. Here is a few tips/tricks in order to have the most accurate and best results when performing your test. Use our speed test website: neotech.speedtestcustom.com. Make sure that your host server is set to Eastlink (Barrie,ON). If not listed in the drop-down menu, type it into the search bar. Make sure there isn't any other device streaming or downloading while attempting to do the test. You can also unplug or turn off devices from your network and just use the one device to perform your test and have the most accurate result. Use a relatively new device. Older device may result in a lower test result. If there is any switch, hub or router plugged into the Arris modem, unplug them. That equipment can result in having slower speeds. Unplug any other devices that are connected into the ports of your modem in case that the cable or the device is causing issue. If you are performing the speed test over wifi, make sure to use the 5G band for better result and stand as close as you can to the modem. If you are doing a speed test over an ethernet connection, make sure to use a CAT5e or CAT6 cable. CAT5 cable is different than CAT5e and may not reach the maximum speed.
  • I want keep my Internet service during a power outage.  What should I do?
    In order to do that, we recommend buying a battery backup model BE425M or better.
  • My IPTV system keeps freezing.  What can I do in order to resolve this?
    Make sure to go through our Internet troubleshooting tab in case there is an issue on your network. Confirm that you aren't sharing the IPTV account with other friends and/or family on a separate Internet connection. Otherwise, it will create an IP conflict and your system will always be freezing. Unplug the power source of your vbox for at least one minute. This will clear your temporary memory and start off fresh. If connected over wifi, is the signal strength good in that area of your house? Have you tried that same vbox closer to the modem or connected directly to see if it will improve your connectivity? Have you completed your latest update? Your VBox may ask you to perform an update from time to time and it is very important to perform it. If the freezing issue remains after following the steps above, process to a clear cache and/or a Factory Reset of your vbox. There is a separate step by step to perform this.
