“my router is my own and not pleased with it but trying to make it do what its supposed to.”

I was not speaking for or against Comcast except to say that the Comcast router is acting as a gateway with the built-in, hardware fiorewall. The thrust of my post was that I have my own router with the built-in, hardware firewall, software firewalls on the computers and anti-virus, etc.

However, my main point was that you or someone in your family clicked on something evil, went to a criminal site or answered a suspicious email.

Your router, out of the box, was configured to stop all nonsense. You should not have had to do anything to the software in the router for it to stop intrusions. The only ‘configuring’ in the router would have been to allow things in, not keep things out.
