If you have a different looking IP address, then it should mean the AC87U has a public IP address and bypasses the routing and firewall functionality of the Shaw modem. You can set all of your port-forwarding options on the AC87U, the settings on the Shaw modem will have no effect.

Despite asking Shaw to put me in bridge mode at two separate times over the past few years, it looks like they only turned my wifi off and didn't put me in bridge mode. I just got off the online chat and now my modem is actually bridged. I refreshed the Plex settings page and the warning message is gone (haven't tested it out of network yet, but that's not a priority at the moment). I've gone back to trying to seed some torrents but still am getting no love...
