I have Shaw blue curve and D-Link wifi. Didn’t alter anything on routers, just attached Ethernet line from Shaw modem/tv in main tv room to where all lines come into basement. I set up first d-Link mesh wifi there and have 2 others on 2nd and 3rd floor. Basement and 3rd floor d-links are hard wired. I have wifi covering whole house, no issues. Got 600-700 mbps in main room and bedrooms on same floor and over 200 mbps on all other d-links. I have main tv and computers logged onto blue curve and cell phones logged onto d-Link. 
Excellent speeds throughout house and all kids happy, including my wife who is working from home through this pandemic.

I just picked up the Bluecurve Gatway and TV package.  I used to have the Shaw cable modem connected via ethernet to my Linksys router.  My luck the router gave out just last week and I replaced it with a new Linksys AC3000 (a $300.00 mesh router).  Shaw tells me that the Gatway modem has better wifi and better network speed, but I'm not convinced.  It sounds like you are using both.  My question is did you leave the Gatway modem in router mode?  Did you just hook up the Gateway as a network, then ethernet to your router so you have two networks visible?  Thanks in advance.

I switched the Shaw Gateway to radio mode (within their app) and then physically connected it to the inbound port of my mesh router base unit (Eero). That lets the Eero do the distribution work to its slave units. I agree that the Gateway has better Wi-Fi and speed but the biggest issue for me to get a mesh unit was distribution throughout the house. On this there was no comparison, the mesh did a much better job of getting the Wi-Fi throughout a multilevel house than the Gateway unit using only two Eero slave units. Have been very happy ever since with this setup. I’d say there’s a bit of loss of speed after the Eero base unit starts spreading it out but not so you’d notice. I get great wifi even multi levels down to the garage. Hope that helps, it was pretty easy.

You seem very knowledgeable.  I will try keeping this simple

We have Shaw BlueCurve

We need coverage upstairs 

The Pods are an easy plug and play install but $10/month 

Can I use the new EERO as a plug and play without messing up my BlueCurve and reinstalling all my TV and have my

wife and kids yell at me.

Thanks GrandMaster

Yes, assuming the new Eero is substantially the same as my one year old Eero. I bought the Eero system (Pro unit and two Beacon set) because it was reviewed as highly functional to spread Wi-Fi around the house and easy to install and it absolutely was. It automatically set up networking on all my devices (TV, printer etc.) on its own and for me has consistently just worked.
