So some basic information: The "Security Router" is a netgear, smc or Dory (gateway) device that is locked down by the touchscreen during install. Special firmware is downloading on to the device for the purpose of home security. It creates a wifi that hides its SSID from the public and no tech (that I know of) can log into the router after its secured. The touchscreen and the cameras are the only current piece of equipment that use this wifi. All other sensors use a mesh network running on the Zigbee platform to communicate directly with the touch screen. Having the security router behind your personal router causes 2 main issues, 1: You may lose the ability to monitor your home remotely. 2: Comcast will use the ability to verify your systems functionality. On the tech side of the touchscreen there is an option to "Expose personal router to internet". Anyone who has issues with routing needs to see if this option has been tried. The alarm is not the loudest, with that in mind comcast dose have secondary sirens available for purchase. I hope this has been helpful to everyone.
