Does this package allow by-passing use of current wi-fi, and will it work with comcast internet provider?

Not sure what you mean by "allow by-passing use of current wi-fi". I have the Equipment Interface Module connected to my Comcast router and it works fine.

Definitely will work with Comcast. Not clear what you mean about bypassing current Wi-Fi.

You have to plug in the packaged "wifi" box into an Ethernet port. It works with any internet provider.

Yes, I had xfinity activate/provision it instead of the leased gateway. The wi-fi signal though was not very strong and xfinity wasn't able to place it in "bridge-mode" since it's the NA model, not the CT model. This I only learned after many calls, chats with xfinity and a tech call to Arris.

I use all of my own gear. I will not allow Comcast to put anything other than a cable TV box in my house. Comcast's device can be used by Comcast to provide public WiFi. You have to opt out if you don't want the device in your house to provide this service.

I don't know about comcast, I have At&t;, However, I assume it will work because it simply joins your network like any other wifi equipment.

This is a proprietary rf receiver that receives signals from Ademco wireless security devices (heat detectors, smoke detectors, passive infrared detectors etc.) of the same product range (5800 series) and forwards the signals via a wired data bus to Ademco alarm panels. I cannot imagine any application that could be associated with comcast/xfinity.

CORRECTION- Yes, it broadcasts the wifi signal sent by your Internet Service Provider (ISP) such as Comcast. Sorry, I mixed up my acronyms.

No, it's a cable modem, so works with Comcast cable. Works great though. You would need to buy a router in order to have wireless with this device.

Yep...I use WPA2 and it never has any connectivity trouble. It isn't fun typing in a complex pass code, but I've only had to do it once. I use an AirPort Extreme access point. (Previous generation)

I have this model and it does work with Comcast Internet and phone . I purchased through Amazon not Best Buy.

From where I was at, it didn't work for me. You should go on the Comcast website and take a look at the router compatibilities. Be careful out there because they don't work in some areas. Good luck!

It works fine with Comcast, however make sure that you check the firmware of the modem after installation. If its less than 2010, then you will have to contact your internet provider to get it upgraded. This can only be upgraded by the internet provider.

Hi Anne, This is a Modem only. It has no inherent router/wireless capabilities. It has a port for the Coaxial cable and another port, Ethernet, to plug in the Cable from your router. Normally, your router will have a special ethernet port for the wire to the modem and 4 other ethernet ports.I have this modem for over a year now and it has been pretty reliable, only dropping the connection when Comcast burps.Good Luck Jim

No documentation from the manufacturer on that but I don't think it would be enough. If you want to try it, and if it fails, I would be happy to buy the device from you after the fact because for my own applications, it works very well. [robertbridgers@comcast.net]

It cannot. In order to replace the router that Comcast provides, you will need a device that supports DOCSIS 2.0 or 3.0. Motorola makes a line of these devices that work pretty well with Comcast - some of them also double as a wireless router. I use Comcast and the ARRIS / Motorola SB6121 SURFboard DOCSIS 3.0 Cable Modem (not a wireless router). I use the AirPort for all of my wireless needs.

Unfortunately no. Still needs a wireless router attached. Either way, it didn't work in our home with Comcast, so don't buy if that's your provider.
