I'd take that question/response one step further.1 most old style routers and modems are incompatible.
If you are close enough and don't need wireless, a simple router plugged
into the comcast modem will allow you to plug in other PC's. Normally
routers come with at least 4 ports. You simply plug the router in where y
our PC did, and then plug the pc into the router. Now that PC is working
just like it did. The nice thing about a router is that Comcast only
sees the router as one item taking up one of your 5 connections. You can
them plug in 253 other PC's in your house and Comcast does not care.
2 modern routers don't require a separate modem as they have an ADSL
compatible port.
