At a minimum, turn off WPS and use WPA2. Set a WiFi password with a large number of upper case, lower case, special characters, and numbers.

I chose then to buy my own and have just made the same decision to buy my own again this time. This time I spent more $$ on the Netgear router to get more security, control and especially tracking.
In a week or so I will check with Comcast on usage to see that the issue/problem has truly been solved.
