Improve Freebox Pop Fiber speed too slow + access Freebox OS
SolvedHello,
I have a Freebox Pop Fibre but I find that my speed is not very fast. I'm barely getting 50Mbps down and 25Mbps up...
I would like to be able to change the channel to improve the speed, but it's impossible to do so from the Freebox interface; I have to go through the Freebox Connect app (which, by the way, only works on my iOS devices but not on Android), where I can't find a way to change the channel.
Otherwise, I was advised to go to Freebox OS (http://mafreebox.freebox.fr/). To access it, I need to set a password by clicking on "First Connection," but I don't have that option...
Can anyone help me please?
Thanks in advance.

Here's how I drastically improved my fiber Wi-Fi connection: I changed the channel using Freebox OS.
Accessing Freebox OS
1. Connect to Freebox OS: http://mafreebox.freebox.fr/
2. The icons are grayed out because you are in guest mode. You need to create a password. Make sure you are connected to the same Wi-Fi network as the box.
For a first connection, click on the Free logo at the bottom left of the page, then on login.
3. A dialog box will appear where you need to enter your password. Since this is your first connection, you don’t have a password, so you need to click on "I lost my password".

4. A prompt will ask you to press a button on your Freebox Pop unit to accept the password change.
5. Once done, enter the new password on your PC.
6. Now you have access to the Freebox OS menu.
Changing the channel
1. Double-click on Freebox Settings
