Hey, does anyone know how to hook up a Airport Extreme to a Comcast cable modem? Other than plugging the ethernet cable, what else needs to be done? My Mac sees the network but still won't let me get online?
And if nobody can help with that, does anyone know their tech support phone number? The 800-Comcast number keeps connecting me to their sales office where I get a recording saying they are closed.

I just plugged in the ethernet. Make sure you're plugging into the right port on the Airport (there should be some for local machines and one specifically for the router). Once it's hooked up, restart the router by unplugging it and taking out any batteries. Wait a minute and hook it all back up again.

Don't Comcast give you instructions?
Have you gone through the diagnostics thingy in the Airport Utility?..it should guide you through and show the status of your connection.

Plug them into each other, unplug the modem and the airport base station, plug the modem in, wait for it to go online, then plug the router back in. Boom.
