I wouldn't mess too much with it, should it not work down the road they will most certainly blame the reconfiguration of their router as to why the alarm did not work.
Also see this thread as to why they don't want you doing what you want to do with their set up

Yes, thanks, I did just change the channels - we have two wireless APs in the house, plus the Comcast Netgear router. It's more of an annoyance to me that Comcast's home security solution is so shoddy. But, as my mom said, it's cheap.
I don't really see what reason you're referring to in the link - I'd read that before and it just sounds like Comcast thinking users are all idiots (true in 98% of cases). I did put the Comcast router behind my router, so it's just a device on the network. It all still works fine. Apparently you have to open port 80 if you have any cameras in the house and want to see them remotely. (Scary: port 80? Really?) Also, it just annoys me that Comcast provides such an inelegant solution. Why should I need to have two wireless networks in the house when this could easily be done with one?
As an aside, there is an option on the security system controller to expose the customer's router to the Internet...but it didn't work with ours.
