@msilverton- can I run the wifi BlueCurve router for WiFi to serve the TVs as well as my own WiFi router serving up a second wfi SSID for other devices?
One qualification: I think that there is a "BlueCurve" device, and a "BlueCurve Total" device. I don't know if the former device has Ethernet ports, nor if those ports are activated.
Assuming that those ports are activated, then your own router will obtain a "private" IP-address from the BlueCurve router, maybe something like "10.0.0.xxx".
Your own router is a DHCP-server to all the "wired" devices that connect to it, and also to the WiFi devices connecting to the SSID that you have configured within your router. It probably gives "private" IP-addresses like "192.168.1.xxx" to your device(s).
Each of your WiFi devices will need to be configured to connect to either the BlueCurve's SSID or to your router's SSID.

Thanks for the reply. I did chat with a Shaw Tech Support and my best bet is to use the coax that I already have running to all TVs. The BlueCurve Router can be split for ethernet connection and wifi.
Thanks for confirming.
