Horrible experience. Portforwarding should be done in router settings. Instead there's text asking you to download BlueCurve "to make it easier" - Which is the wrong app name btw... In the right app the FAQ says click Advanced Settings, but what they DON'T tell you is that that button is hidden behind WiFi>View WiFi Equipment first. Then they also don't tell you how to set up a Static IP which you'll need if you don't want to redo PF every startup. THANKS, Shaw. You SURE made it easier. Jerks.

The app and gateway have less functionality and responsiveness than I'd like. I'm an IT pro and I have added a dozen computers to my home network in the last week and was notified about one. The gateway doesn't allow firewall customization as I'd like. I'm going to need a third party firewall to get the function I need. i.e. changing my DNS servers to preferred non-shaw DNS.

rogers home services constantly cut out. tv. Internet. everything. the app rarely provides any ways to fix the service. hard to navigate (as in, hard to figure out where to go to fix problems when you can't identify why the service is cutting out). basically it only keeps me from having to walk to the basement to reset the modem. not exactly useful.
