Use Port Forwarding with Ignite HomeConnect

Use Ignite HomeConnectTM to set up port forwarding to enable applications like video games, video conferencing and more.

Ignite HomeConnect is available exclusively for Rogers Internet customers with the Ignite WiFi Gateway modem. Not sure if this is your modem? Check under “Internet” on your MyRogers account.

How does port forwarding work?
