Anyway, I replaced it with the old cable modem router we had (that I thought worked, just was slow). Any we had internal wifi (printers, etc) but no internet connection. Got hold of a live person at Comcast (that was fun!) and they confirmed that they could not see the modem from their end. Set up an appt for tomorrow. Meanwhile, I went to Best Buy and purchased a new modem/router, hooked it up and everything works! Apparently, the modem part of the old modem/router had died at some point.
Cancelled the Comcast appt and we are back online.

You did that all by yourself? (Channelling my 26 yo daughter, who says that to me all the time...
)
Last time she spent the weekend home, I had a new router delivered.
She opened it, took my laptop and had it set up, including all devices (iPhones, iPad, printer) in about 10 minutes...
When I told her, "You know, I could have done it myself...", she patted me on the head, and said, "I know you could, but it would have taken three times as long and there would have been major cursing involved..." I hate that kid...
