Plug a straight through Ethernet cable from a LAN port on the router to any port on the switch. That's all it takes. Granted most network equipment today has logic to switch the pin outs so any Ethernet cable should work.
When your 10 computers are connected to the switch, just make sure your ethernet cable is plugged into the ethernet port. The computers should then have a internet connection
your ethernet cable from comcast gets plugged into the wan port of the linksys switch. plug the xbox and laptop to one of the lan ports. the comcast box is a modem/router? without the router it won't assign dhcp addresses
Typically you will connect your router to port 1 of the switch. Unless you have a port that is labeled WAN or Uplink. Then you would use that.
Daisy chain is when you have multiple switches connected to eachother. So it would be router to port 1 computers on ports 2-15, port 16 would connect to port 1 on another switch, and so on.
