Any router will work with comcast. Comcast will only see one MAC (the router's) since the other mac will be internally assigned by the router's DHCP service. So comcast seeing 2 MAC thing and mac clone thing is BS.

I recommend Linksys, Netgear, or Dlink

but this should do nicely.

Out of the 150 or so installations I have done on Cable internet (Cox, Comcast, Charter) they ALL needed to have the MAC address cloned of the main PC or they would experience FREQUENT disconnects. When I called the cable companies to ask them they said it was because their end was detecting a different MAC address other than the main pc which the cable was being used.
