Connecting your WBR-1310 is not difficult, really. The router has a connecxtor labelled "WAN" on the back side, and 4 additional connectors. Your Comcast modem has a connector on its back too. Use a CAT-5 cable between the Comcast box and the WAN input on the WBR-1310 router. Plug another CAT-5 cable into any of the 4 connectors and the other end into your computer's Network Card's RJ45 connector. This is the easiest way to put your router through its setup. Accessing the router is done with the web address of 192.168.1.1 ... you will need to log in to the router as an administrator, usually with the login of User Name Admin, and a blank password. If you still have the documentation that came with the unit the login may vary.
Anyway, in Setup you decide the SSID (name of your network) and set up any security you may desire. I personally prefer WPA-PSK[TKIP] on the Wireless setup page. After that is done, your wireless internet should be done. You will need whatever password you set up to get your` wireless to log in.

I am not a comcast customer, but I have a friend who is, so I have the impression they are a very user-friendly ISP. Maybe their router can be replaced with your wi-fi one, so that the setup will be less complicated. They may not like when/if they find your second router, installed w/o notice. If you do a mistake you can block the line fir your neighbours...
But since you ask for an advice - the LAN cable coming out oof comrut (now probably connected to a PC) should be connected to the WAN of dlinkrut Then you can connect wired PCs to any of the free LAN ports of the two routers (six?). As per software configuration, use the router's manuals. Have in mind it is quite complicated tho. http://portforward.com/ may help you.

Well, you are trying to connect a router to a router, that can be difficult. Is there anyway you can exchange the Dlink router for a Wireless Access Point (AP)? If you can, you just connect the AP to the 4-port network side of the comcast router, configure the wifi settings (security, etc), and you're good to go.
If you can't exchange it, then your best bet is to connect the 4-port (or internal) side of the dlink router to the 4-port side of the comcast router. Then the dlink will be seen by the comcast router as another internal connection, and you can set the wifi settings of the dlink at that point. If you connect the dlink to the comcast router via the External port on the dlink, then you are creating two separate IP subnets, a needless complex setup.

Trouble connecting netgear wireless router to rca modem DCM425

First try connection the Yellow ethernet cable from the rca modem to your computer's network connection. If you get a connection this way, then your modem will work with a ethernet cable. If not, then call Comcast for help. The modem ethernet out to computer port must be connected to the wan line of the router. Then you can connect an ethernet cable from your computer network connection to one of the 4 ports of the router. For wireless connections you must set up the router and wireless adaptor with the same settings to connect. Follow the routers directions.
Good Luck

Trying to install router for wireless

If that's hooked to comcast you can only have one computer hooked up to it, and no modems as they block mac address. If you are a Comcast customer there is a workaround. Turn on your wife's wireless if she hasit, if not get her a wireless card USB is easiest. Turn on sharing on that wireless card and you will be able to access the internet through your wifes computer, and not run afoul of your Comcast agreement. Or request an upgrade to a wireless router from Comcast but your rent goes from $3.00 per month to $10.00!

I cannot connect with linksys wireless router

From your description, you appear to be connected to the router fine.

Try powering down the modem from Comcast for about 2 minutes then power it back up. If it doesn't come back, call Comcast service as it is likely on their end.

Hope this helps.

Loss of internet connection when going through router

Your laptop seems to be hooked to your neighbours unsecured network automatically and it is going online with that. About comcast, when you connect a router to the modem or a computer to the modem, the modem has to be rebooted to give a valid IP to the connected device. If the modem is not rebooted the computer or the router will get 192.168.x.x IP address which is called private IP address.

Other computer won't connect wirelessly

Comcast is apparently weeding out multiple connections through routers. They want you to pay extra for their wireless router and pay an extra $5 a month too.

Hook up wireless interenet

Did you by any chance give you router the mac address on the wireless card? Do you have the comcast version of a netgear wireless router? Any wireless router will do also. Does not have to be netgear or from comcast. You can get online by the network cable right?. Where else are you trying to connect to wirelessly?
