Solved:i called the Comcast tech and since i toll him that i had a few wireless routers in my scrap so he suggested to connect one of my routers to the Harris TG862 and voila i have my other computers with wireless running,
but the cons is that is not secure WEP,hope it will not broadcast too far!

You can go into the router setting and setup your own password and that way no one can link up and have fun..

Hello,

It may be possible that check the IP addresses.
When they detect other IP adresses than they expect, they might close down the signal for illegal tapping.
