I recently had the Ignite package from Rogers installed. However, I am unhappy where the tech placed the Ignite modem - in the furnace room next to the electrical panel.
You may ask what the big deal is? I have all my Ethernet lines in the family room. So I was expecting to plug my Ethernet lines to the Modem (just like I had done with the Bell Fibe modem). Can you sense my regret to switching?
Anyway, because I have an alarm system that relies on the traditional land-line, I was told the modem must remain next to the panel.
And to use my Ethernet lines, I had to put a extender in the family room and and a switch.
Question: Can I not put the Ignite modem in my family room, and use the telephone jack in that room and tie that line into the alarm. Bell could do that. Phone line into modem and modem in family room.
Any thoughts on if this is possible. If not, I may be the shortest term customer Rogers had.
Thanks!
