Many problems can happen with your cable modem. However, most of them can actually be solved by simply resetting the router and turning it off, waiting a few seconds, and then turning it back on again. This will somehow solve the majority of problems. If more troubleshooting is required, search for the users manual that came with the cable modem, or look for the user's manual on the website of the cable modem manufacturer. Search through it using the control-f, or find, shortcut for the problem that you are having. Then, follow the directions carefully to solve most problems.
What else can I help you with?
Internet on a laptop with a modem?
You can connect your laptop to the Internet with a cable modem, sure. You will need an Ethernet cable to do that. If you want wireless internet, you will need a cable modem, and a wireless router as well.

Call your cable modem service provider and have them run a series of tests on your line. If necessary, they will replace your modem, as well.

Why cable modem malfunction?
If it has stopped working even if the lights are on/off doesnt matter. Modems usually only last around 2 years or so. I suggest getting a new modem. It does not need to be a real expensive one. A cheap one works just as well but usually does not last as long. Hope this helped
Wireless connection was working now it is not working?
Try rebooting your computer as well as the router. If it did not help, and you have wireless connection but not internet reboot the modem.
Would using a third nic with ethernet cable and ics software to share a cable modem connection with other computer increase the speed of the second computer which is using ics with a null modem serial?
Well, yes, the ethernet cable should run faster than the regular serial cable, but I don't think that would be the most efficient approach. You should add the NIC to the PC that doesn't have one, and then get a router to allow both PC's to access the cable modem. Adding the ethernet cable would only speed it up to the maximum speed allowed by your Cable Internet Provider
Is there a cable modem with phone jack for comcast?
An ethernet cable may look like a phone cable but it is not and would not serve any purpose to connect one to your phone line. The Cable modem has an ethernet cable as an output to a PC, router, or other device and not an input to provide internet access
Why should you keep a cable modem off the floor?
Having the cable modem on the floor makes it more likely for someone to trip over it, and possibly the cables atached to it as well. They may also inadvertently kick the power button, causing a lack of internet access that can be difficult to diagnose.

Do you need a special modem or LAN cable to have 1gbps speed?
yes , indeed.Standard cable have 100 mbs speed so you need a special one as well as an one gbps ethernet card
What would happen if you took away the modem to a computer?
Well it depends on whether the computer connects to the internet with this modem. If you're talking about an external cable modem, you would probably lose your internet connection. If you're talking about an internal dialup modem inside the computer, removing it would mean you can't connect via dialup but it would not affect the external modem. Hope this helps
