My parents just got a home "security" system from Comcast. I put "security" in quotes because the system appears to be someone's bad idea for a joke.

Leaving that aside for the moment, Comcast installs it by plugging in a cheap Netgear WNR1000v2-VC wireless router, then plugging in your existing router behind the Netgear router. The Comcast router creates a wireless network that talks to the security system controller, which in turn talks to the door sensors and motion detectors.

Comcast won't tell anyone what the password is to log on to the router or what the Wifi passphrase is to connect to the Super Secret wifi network they create. Sadly for me, they actually did something right and set the Wifi network as WPA2/AES, so I won't have any luck playing with Aircrack.

I want to get rid of an unneeded box and interference, and add Comcast's Super Secret network as another VLAN on the existing home router. I tried pushing the WPS button on the Comcast router (it made a light on the front blink!) but my laptop running Windows 7 didn't recognize it as a WPS router.

There also doesn't seem to be a way to change what network the controller box looks for.

Does anyone have any ideas? I already rewired things to put the Netgear behind the existing home router (it interfered with VPN).
