The fact remains, unless Comcast (your ISP) has given you a "static" IP odds are that your IP is in fact NOT static, but dynamic (where your ISP can change your IP at the drop of a hat. I am wondering what the router is detecting to tell it that your IP is in fact static? Comcast OUGHT TO be able to tell you, without getting one of "their" routers, if your IP is static or dynamic. Comcast has this answer, and no onev else, so keep after them.
At any rate, you ought to be able to get to your router control by pointing your browser at http://192.168.1.1 and log in with the following:
User Name: admin
Password: {leave this blank}
Once you've logged in let me know and we'll take small steps to get you online, OK?

When I run the installation CD, it goes through several steps involving wire hookups, and then a window pops up saying, "we have detected a static IP address" - then, the next page show slots for an IP address, subnet mask, gateway, and DNS server. - It says I -should get these from my ISP - but when I called Comcast, the rep said they can't help me because the router isn't theirs, and I should contact Netgear. The Netgear installation materials included a sheet entitled, "No CD Drive Installation" - which gives a web site to enter into a browser window - "http://routerlogin.net" this is supposed to bring up a page with a username and password , and then a "setup wizard" - but when I enter it, I am immediately re-directed to another web site - "http://kb.netgear.com/app/home - which is a support web site. The support guy said to use the automatic or dynamic IP address link - but I can't get it to come up.
This is the page that comes up when I went into Netgear's support web site and asked why "http://routerlogin.net" won't come up on my browser:

Affected products: WGT624v1, WGT624v2, WGR614v5, WGR614v6, WPN824v1
Symptoms
?The router administration pages are not available using the URLs www.routerlogin.com or www.routerlogin.net.
When accessing the Internet, various computer applications do a "DNS lookup", which is a way of converting between URLs that are easy-to-read such ashttp://www.netgear.com with their numerical equivalent. (For www.netgear.com, it'shttp://12.7.210.242/). Some programs make such a large number of request for these DNS lookups that the router's firewall software treats it as a potential attack. In this situation, the computer making these requests is blocked by the router from the Internet.
At the moment, there is no workaround.>>>>
I tried 5 or 6 times to run the Netgear installation CD - it stopped at "We have detected a static IP address" every time - When I tried to use the "192.168.1.1" method, I was redirected to the Netgear support page - I could have solved the problem if I could have gotten into the 'dynamic IP address' link, but I was redirected from the page every time. Netgear said my cable modem didn't recognize my computer's MAC address, and the redirecting problem came from a firewall problem, and they "can't fix it at this time".
Comcast wouldn't help me because it wasn't their router. I gave up, took the router back to Best Buy, and the "Geek Squad" guy recommended a Linksys router - I installed that - it worked for an hour, I shut off the computer, and it refused to work upon rebooting the computer. I spoke to a Linksys Support rep to reinstall it, and it's worked fine ever since.
Has your ISP set you up with a STATIC IP? This is most unusual; does this error pop up even before you do the setup on the router?
