WIFI and Rogers Xfinity App - affects smart devices

Hey There - not a question but a PSA

I had logged onto the Rogers Xfinity app to see what it was all about and didn't log out for a couple of days.  After that, my doorbell camera went offline and no matter what I did (reset, called Shaw about WIFI stability, etc) it would not reconnect.  By some miracle, I saw a blurb about app's creating a firewall and TA DA. When I logged out of Rogers Xfinity, the camera came back online. 

If you are having issues with smart devices, maybe check what apps you have open.
