Can you access the Router menus?

Yes. But I don't know what any of them are for. Mostly...

 

[JackMDS]

If you can access the menus and there is No Internet it might be Comcast problem.

Read the manual about the WAN port setting and see if it set correctly.

If you have a neighbor with Comcast ask them if their Internet is working.

If I by pass the router and plug the modem directly into a computer (this one) I have Internet.

Plug router back in, power cycle the cable modem and then power cycle the router. It's likely your computer's MAC address is associated with the cable modem and isn't giving an IP to your router. You can also clone your PC's mac to the WAN of the router and that should also do it.

I had tried that twice, previously.
I turned off the computer and unplugged the router and modem. We left for about 3 hours to go shopping. When we got home I started the modem, router and then computer.
I usually wait 5 minutes between starting each item. This time i plugged in the modem then immediately the router and started the computer. When the computer fired up, I had access on all machines again.
I hate networks but I love you guys. :heart:
