Im just going to lay out a couple reasons why the current way of configuring the shaw gateway routers with an app on your phone is a bad idea

1. why force your users to use a LESS secure device, to configure something for their desktop computers or labtops etc.  I have a computer that is hard wired and secured, i use multiple programs to maintain security and make sure nothing malicious is going on, i should be able to fully access all the router settings from it, not a separate device that is wireless and less secure (phone)

2. with the merger of shaw and rogers, i just again tried to configure this app, and it now asks you to sign in with rogers 'ignite homeconnect' app instead of the previous shaw 'bluecurve' app, so now if you were going to use this app you would have to funnel your shaw information thru rogers.

at this point i wont even be able to factory reset our modem because if i do i wont be able to use my computer to configure the needed settings on the modem webpage.  this is ridiculous, all this does is take away convenience, not add any.  there's no need to take away the ability to fully manage the modems settings from a PC, which would be the most secure way of doing it.
