It does sound like the router has failed. Sometimes you can fix this problem by resetting the router to factory condition. There is normally a "reset switch" in a hole on the back of the router. With the router powered on, press a pen into the hole and hold it in for 30 seconds. Connect the router back to the Comcast Modem and use a computer that is connected by wire to set the wifi ID and security key. Then see if you can find the wifi ID using the laptop.
The life span of these cheap wifi routers is some where between 1 and 5 years. I have replaced 3 in the past 10 years and my daughters failed after less than 1 year.
Next time please add the word "please" and you will avoid the forum police.
Good Luck
