Yes. My "home" network starts with the cable-modem, with an Ethernet cable between the cable-modem and the "uplink" port on my wireless router, and up to 4 computers connected to the 'LAN' ports on the router, plus support for my wireless devices (laptop, iPhone, tablet).

SOURCE: How do I connect this router?

You will need at least two ethernet cables like the one that is currently connecting yur PC to your Comcast Modem. Use one cable to connect between your pc and any of the ports labled 1, 2, 3, or 4 on the router. Another ethernet cable should be connected between the modem and the port labeled WAN on the router. Then (if you havent already), turn off the power to all three, the modem, the router, and the pc. then, turn on the power to just the modem and wait until the lights on the front of it stablize (usually about 60 to 120 seconds). Then turn on the router and wait another 60 seconds. Finally, boot up the computer. You should be able to connect to the internet. the next step will be to set up the wireless part of the router.

SOURCE: 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

SOURCE: The internet light is flashing on the rca dcm425 i

My RCA DCM425C from Comcast had the same problem when I came home Saturday, 11/14/09 (coincidentally the same day you posted). Had been working fine - cable TV still works fine including On Demand, etc. The Internet light was blinking. Occasionally I'd see it try to work from one light to three or four, but it always came back to one. Called Comcast, they said their side showed "no signal". Sent out a tech today. He replaced the cable modem, reprovisioned it (I guess if I had a backup ready I could have done the provisioning over the phone maybe?)), everything's great. Lasted about a year and a half. When I logged in via http://192.168.100.1, it said it was still in Step 1 of 5 ("Tuning"), and the logs showed a whole bunch of errors on Saturday that stopped after that. Diagnostics would always freeze the built-in web server and require reboot.

SOURCE: I see that people are

The trick about all this is that the software does not configure the computer, but the modem.
So once it has been configured through a computer then plugged to a router, any computer plugged to the said router will have access to the Internet.

The whole process of installing/configuring will happen if you replace the old modem and/or plug a new computer directly to the modem.

SOURCE: Hi, I want to set

1) Make sure the cable is plugged into the Internet port (or whatever the appropriate port is, since you didn't specify exactly which router).

2) At your router's configuration page, make sure DHCP (Automatic) is selected.

3) After connecting to the router, if it still does not work, open up the command window by going to the search box in the Start Menu or click Run... and type "cmd".

4) Type "ipconfig /release". Wait until this is finished.

5) Type "ipconfig /renew". Wait until this is finished.
This should have given you an IP Address.

6) Try to connect to a website.

I am having trouble connecting my RCA dcm425 with a dynex 10base-t ethernet hub to two devices at once. Comcast said I should be able to connect two devices at once but I can only connect one at a time. ...

The RCA DCM425 is a cable modem. You need an Ethernet router to connect two devices to the wide area network provided by the modem. A router assigns I.P. (internet protocol) addresses. Your Dynex Ethernet hub is a switch which will enable you to share files between computers. It doesn't support directing traffic to and from the internet.

I wish that I had better news for you. You can get a router from many sources.

I have a dcm425 and when online gamming the router restarts itself every 10 minutes...

That's obviously a problem with your unnamed router, and not the dcm425.
Try looking for and flash upgrading (or downgrading) your router.
I had a Linksys router that I always kept up to date with the latest firmware, and one day it started doing the exact same thing we're talking about here. I had to downgrade the router to a previous version to fix the issue. Newer isn't always better!

Can i hook up 2 computers to the rca dcm425 without a wireless router

RCA DCM425 digital cable modems only have one Ethernet cable located in the back of the device. In order to have two computers connected at the same time you will need to have router. The router will connect to the Ethernet port on the back of the RCA modem and then you can have up to 4 computers connected directly to the router using Ethernet cables. If any of your computers are wifi compatible they will also be able to get online by using the wifi from the router.
