If and when will there be a pc version of this app since i dont have a cell phone or tablet or an operating system that I can use the current version of it?

@hiho The Ignite HomeConnect app is basically a Rogers-branded version of the Xfinity Xfi app.  Currently, if you need to do anything but the most basic configuration of an Ignite Gateway, you need to use the Android or iOS-based mobile app.  Rogers won't comment on any upcoming, unannounced changes to their service offerings... but I don't see signs of any other options for any other platforms on the horizon.  There's always a chance that Comcast could bring back the web portal some day but, again, I have not seen any signs if this happening.

Thanks for the nfo 

Typical rogers thinking lets upgrade our services so that not all peeps can access all of the apps features that are needed to have more control and access to all of the ignite services .

bad enough that we got forced into this ignite upgrade now if we want to access all of it we need to have a cell phone and or a tablet to use it 😞

Well so far i have had 3 issues that i have tried to solve and none of them are doable

It is indeed pretty rare these days that someone in the home doesn't have a cell phone or tablet.  Simply for the sake of insurance when out of the home or in the home, if the home phone service goes down, it is very good idea these days to have a cell phone for emergencies.

One can purchase a used phone or new "older model" phone for about $100-200, or even free from a friend or relative who upgrade their phone/tablet every 2 years 😉 .  One can then subscribe to a $10-15/mo pre-paid plan.  I believe this is good insurance for anyone... 

Some tablets are available for roughly the same price, but one needs to check compatibility for various apps, etc. 

Devices can be used for purposes like Rogers apps, other apps, e-reading, GPS, e-mail, weather apps, camera, etc. and they don't even require a plan (some functionality may require WiFi).  Any cell phone can dial 911 without a plan or SIM.

Good luck with your various issues.

awsome soulution spend more money to access all of rogers servicies

100.00 for a phone then 120.00 to 150.00 per year 

since i have no need for a cell phone or a tablet now or in the near future guess ill just have to forget accessing all of my new and improved ignite app or anything else that using other os then windows.

Hey, up to you.  I did mention that it's often possible to get a free or very cheap used phone or tablet from a friend or relative.  These will do what you want via WiFi and a cell will be able to dial 911.  One that is too old may not be compatible with some apps though, like Roger Home Connect...

Thanks for the nfo appreciate that accually i may have confussed some peeps what i was inquring about was the Ignite Home Connect App which i cant  use since i am only a windows user which i was hoping that rogers was in the process of creating so peeps like me who dont have the use of a cell phone and or a tablet which unfortunately is up to me to spend the monies to access it or just muddle along with out being able to use all of the ignite features. Since it was previously mentioned that maybe a friend family member may have an old one kicking around i could get one from them or purchasse something  how about rogers you got something kicking around that you can send me to use for free 🙂
