Hey Gleno...
As a high speed internet subscriber with Comcast, you get a free, Netgear wireless router. All you pay is a one time, 9.95 shipping charge.
It was a no-brainer hook up.
Comcast told me I should have been getting 12mb/s of speed, but I was only getting 6 mb/s of speed.
Evidently, my old router was stopping the remaining speed from coming through.
I had a tech from Comcast come out to investigate my speed and all he did was hook up the internet direct to my modem and did a speed test. It went to almost 21 mb/s. Wowser!!
I ordered my new router through Comcast. They put the 9.95 charge on my bill and 2 days later it was in my hands.
I followed mimurray's tips and the hookup went smooth:

The only hitch I had was my Zone Alarm firewall. I forgot to add the older computer into the trusted zone. Once I did that, we were able to print from the second computer. Other than that, it was a snap.
My neighbor paid $60 for a new router and I saw where Comcast charges a couple hundred bucks to hook them up.
