Called a "router" by whom, and where? Maybe help could better be forthcoming
if you announced its brand name and a model number. From the description so
far in this thread, yours seems to be one of those boxes that combine modem,
router, switch and firewall. Does it also provide wireless?

I know some stuff. Virturally no Comcast-specific connectivity is included.
OTOH, Tony Baldwin and Jude DaShiell have offered Comcast-specific clues in
this thread.

Different and new problem belongs in a virgin thread.

This too belongs in a separate thread, but I'll provide a seed for you to try
to fix on your own. This is from Jessie on a multiboot Dell that includes
Windows 10:
# grep ntfs /etc/fstab
/dev/sda6 /win/C ntfs-3g nofail,users,gid=100,fmask=0111,dmask=0000,locale=en_US.UTF-8 0 0
# mount | grep eblk
/dev/sda6 on /win/C type fuseblk (rw,nosuid,nodev,noexec,user_id=0,group_id=0,default_permissions,allow_other,blksize=4096)
# ls -gG /win/C

If the above not enough help to get you where you want to be and you want
more, start a separate thread with an appropriate subject line please.
