i’ve setting up a house wireless network for a friend. there’s a comcast modem in the house, running to the wireless router. there is another cable connection in the garage, and i need another modem for it. will a simple call to Comcast, have them send out another Modem? or do i need to purchase one? do they charge extra for having 2 modems? ---

In residential accounts, they will not set up 2 modems on the same account. It’s basically gonna be set up like Address - Garage or MDM 2 and they will need to pay the full price for service to the garage like it’s a seperate household. Why do you want to run another modem in the garage when you have wireless? Is it too far away for the wireless to be picked up? ---

the gargae is far, but not too far, maybe 100ft away from the house. but, it has a laser security system. i can recieve the wireless signal outside the garage, but not inside. ---

Yeah unfortunately, they will need to pay full price for internet service just in the garage. Maybe you can call and see if they can do a deal on it, but I’m really not sure. Your other option may be a range extender, but even they don’t like other frequencies such as a security system and whatnot. ---
