Your "this router" is an R6120?

What you need depends on what you're getting from Comcast. If that
is standard cable-TV Internet service, then you probably need a cable-TV
modem. This could be a simple cable modem for use with a separate
router like an R6120, or you could get a modem+router ("gateway") to do
the whole job, removing the need for a separate router like an R6120.
Is Comcast supplying any equipment (like, say, a modem or
modem+router)?
