Myself, and MANY others here, have done bridged mode, and MANY prefer it... due to the poor performance of the rogers gateways.. It works fine, if not BETTER in most cases.
It is VERY stable and EASY compared to with the rockethubs.
Unfortunately, rogers really has no control over what is/isnt in the gateway either.. its all what comes from the manufacturer. Seems like NONE of the gateway providers thing that its necessary :P
