Hi
Almost all the Home used Routers differences are on the LAN (Home Network)
side.
The WAN side (ISP side that goes to the Modem) is not functionally different
one from the other.
I doubt that there is any technical merit to the claim that Comcast like
one, or the other.
The issue is that people expect their ISP to support their 3rd party Router
too.
However it is Not the ISP duty (and even if they want to it is impossible)
to support all the independent Routers that are available on the market.
So Comcast support people know the interface of few simple Routers, and
would not want to deal with any of the others.
If One has a basic idea of Networking and does Not need Comcast to deal with
his LAN, and its Router, One can the best for him.
Expecting the ISP to take care of your own system is like expecting your car
company to clean and take care of your garage.
