With Ignite HomeConnectTM, you can stay in the know from wherever you are with notifications about key changes to your home WiFi network. Whether you prefer push notifications that display right on your mobile phone, or notifications sent via text message or email (coming soon), this convenient feature helps keep you informed and in control.
Note: Notifications are supported for select activities and will initially be only available in English for text and email.
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.
Before you begin, confirm where you would like notifications to be sent.
- Push notifications will be sent to devices you’ve installed the Ignite HomeConnect app on and have logged into previously using your MyRogers username and password. These cannot be managed from the website.
- Text and/or email notifications (coming soon) are sent to the contact information you have provided in your MyRogers profile. Visit this article to learn how to update your MyRogers profile and settings if you need to verify, add, or update this contact information. Keep in mind that:
- Text notifications will be sent to your contact wireless number. Your wireless recovery number can be a different number.
- Your contact email address can be different than the email address you use to login to MyRogers.
- Both your contact email address and contact wireless number are also where we send your bill (optional for text notifications), and updates about known service interruptions in your area. Take this into consideration when choosing the number and address you want to use for this functionality.
- Open the Ignite HomeConnect app and sign in with your MyRogers username and password.
