That was my research. \r\n\r\nThis post is going to help people and I'm content with that. If I had run into one like it, I would never have purchased the router. Your response may have been in good faith but it reads like one long beratement. \r\n\r\nOn top of berating me, you are also spreading untrue information.

Have you disabled WAN on the linksys and connected it to the LAN port (do not use WAN port)?\r\nIf you like VPN you could do it router-side and everything on the network could use it all the time.  My entire network uses VPN and plex works fine from inside the network.  I currently have all my external ports closed so I haven't tested remote access.\r\n\r\nAlso, you should definitely have full control over the comcast router.  Actually the best advice I could give you is to buy your own equipment and stop renting.  If you have comcast phone look into porting to google voice and get an obi device for home phone and buy a docsis 3.0 modem (sb6141 is $25 used on amazon and is a great modem).  Even if you wanted to keep comcast phone you could still purchase the device you're using.  \r\nhttps://www.amazon.com/dp/B00NR1EHP8","subreddit_name":"PleX","author":"hdjunkie"},{"body":"No it's not an actual mainframe, which wouldn't work well in my apartment and yes the [modem](https://www.amazon.com/Residential-Gateway-802-11n-GigaPort-TG862G-CT/dp/B00NR1EHP8/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8\u0026amp;qid=1486049716\u0026amp;sr=8-1\u0026amp;keywords=Residential+Gateway+with+Telephony+Adapter+TG862G-CT) from Comcast has an integrated router/switch so there are four ethernet ports in it.

Slow speeds are not ideal but I'm here to provide some additional tips. \r\n\r\nIs this your router from Comcast? \r\nhttp://www.amazon.com/ARRIS-Residential-Gateway-GigaPort-TG862G-CT/dp/B00NR1EHP8/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8\u0026amp;qid=1436997171\u0026amp;sr=8-1\u0026amp;keywords=xfinity+routers\r\n\r\nThe router above will only use 2.4ghz. You want yourself a dual band router if you live in an apartment complex or highly populated area. A 2.4ghz wireless network is like driving on a Monday during rush hour traffic, very slow and not ideal. A dual band router offers a 5ghz broadcast which is like driving on a Sunday with no traffic which equals much faster speeds.\r\n \r\nAlthough a 5ghz wireless network offers a much better internet connection speed, it does lack distance and most importantly some devices do not support 5ghz. You can split your network, to broadcast a 2.4 and 5ghz wireless network name. The best method is to make the 2.4ghz your regular network name and the 5ghz network your network name with a 5G at the end.\r\n\r\n1st: Find out if you have a dual band router from your ISP.\r\nIf you do: split your network name, call their tech support for help or respond back with the exact model router you do have.\r\nIf you do not have a dual band router, buy a dual band router or see if your ISP offers one.\r\n\r\nLMK if this helps! :)\r\n\r\n-Pie","subreddit_name":"techsupport","author":"Eclair_Pie"},{"body":"I have [this](https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00NR1EHP8/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_i_SRvaDb40T0Q82) for sale if you're needing a comcast modem.","subreddit_name":"hardwareswap","author":"blorgensplor"},{"body":"FYI I think this is my modem/router \\(or VERY close\\)\r\n\r\n[https://www.amazon.com/ARRIS\\-Residential\\-GigaPort\\-Certified\\-TG862G\\-CT/dp/B00NR1EHP8/ref=br\\_lf\\_m\\_pckg3obvyuob442\\_ttl?\\_encoding=UTF8\u0026amp;s=pc](https://www.amazon.com/ARRIS-Residential-GigaPort-Certified-TG862G-CT/dp/B00NR1EHP8/ref=br_lf_m_pckg3obvyuob442_ttl?_encoding=UTF8\u0026amp;s=pc)","subreddit_name":"raspberry_pi","author":"Laoks77"},{"body":"So what's going on here:\r\n\r\nhttps://www.amazon.com/dp/B00NR1EHP8/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_GWDFzb4C0YM73\r\n\r\nI'm legitimately curious.\r\n","subreddit_name":"Flipping","author":"CrankLee"}]}
