Default It wasn't easy, but I did get the Linksys router to work with Comcast

Suggestions:
1. I purchased a new cable to connect the modem to the router. I was having problems with the cable provided by Comcast.
2. Contact Comcast to advise them about the problems you are having and ask them to recycle the modem connection.
3. After the modem is fully operational, connect the router to the modem and wait for it to be fully initialized.
4. Try the internet connection from the laptop. It may take several tries before it makes the connection.
5. Here are some of my settings:
Basic Setup: Automatic DHCP
Basic Wireless Settings
Wireless Network mode: Mixed
Wireless channel: 11-2.462 GHz
Wireless SSID: Enable
Wireless Security
Security mode: WPA Personal
WPA Algorithm: TKIP
WPA shared key: create a key
