does this modem work for wifi? I just need a modem for that, not cable, and I am confused after looking through so many. I have comcast as well.

This is a wifi cable modem. You have to run your cable internet through the modem and then it will do the wifi.

Comcast connects via the phone lines, and I found out the hard way that this modem does not have a port in the back to connect a phone line... I got a netgear modem and netgear router for wifi... They work great!

Yes this is for wifi. I have time warner cable and use it for internet. This is for cable internet not cable tv.

Comcast is not a big fan of when you have your modem. Yes, it was compatible, but Comcast after a few weeks stopped working and wanted to charge for technical service help. My advice... run while you still can (from Comcast, that is).

This works fine with Comcast. You may need modem. Not all modems are compatible with Comcast.

Hey this is Nina I am not sure but give it a try. Plug it in the modem and see if it works and it not, plug it into the wall using comcast service. It should work either way. Nina

I actually have this modem, we started with Qwest, than of course it became Century Link. I have the 12Mbps speed, it works great on this modem.We are in Colorado. It runs 802.11b,g & n. If that helps any one?

It's a router, not a modem. The modem is what connects to your coaxial cable coming from the provider. The modem then has another slot for an Ethernet cable that goes on to your router. The modem is also what you're probably thinking of.All routers work with all cable providers because they're only meant to relay the service signal your modem is receiving.Look up the difference between a modem and a router if you want to learn more.

Jan 16, 2015 - Is anyone still having success activating and using this modem with COMCAST? I don't need more than 25 Mbps. Does Comcast have capability to "kill" this modem in the future? I'm not worried about IPv6 capability for at least 5 more years. Thanks for all replies.

Not true. Comcast installed mine. It was a replacement for one of theirs. I ordered the exact modem that Comcast had sipplied.

Yes it works with Comcast. The Comcast modem output that would normally go to your computer will get plugged into the wireless router. The router can now either be the source of wireless internet or you can connect an Ethernet cable(s) to the output of the router and connect that to your computer. That way you have both wired and wireless for your devices.

Odd answer from Comcast since they supplied me with the SBG900 cable modem when I initiated service in the fall of 2008! They probably have a deal with another supplier with either a better cost to them or better specs but it definitely still works and I have been very pleased with the range and reliability.

Hey Sean, this does work with Comcast but this is not a modem/router combo. It's just a router so you'd still need your original modem in place. Hope this helps.

What are you using the modem for? What's the Internet Services top speed? I have comcast plus boost running over 40 Wi - fi devices with no issues. If you are concerned, spend more for newer top of the line device.

I have this DSL modem/router. It is for phone internet (internet through the phone company) and not cable router (through cable company). I had trouble setting it up... come to find out it was the phone company's issue... they connected my internet to a second line! Other than that... the device has worked spectacularly. No issues!

It is NOT a modem, it is a wireless router. Modems are usually different, and I always suggest people get a SEPARATE modem for whatever technology they're using (DSL, Cable, WISP, Cell Data card, etc). This will work with any modem using ethernet connections.

DOES NOT WORK WITH COMCAST ANYMORE. I just recieved this modem and called comcast this morning to register it, the tech support guy said that they JUST stopped supporting this model. I hate Comcast.

ONLY if this specific model is listed on Comcast's Approved Modem List. From what I have read, they have changed their hardware and support networks to specifically exclude "non-approved" modems. Their tech support people may pass you around but their hands are tied.
