I just got Comcast internet only and have my own Motorola sbg6580. Every is set up and running, but the wifi won't extend past about 10'. I can get great speed in my living room, but can't even connect in my bedroom. It is where my at&t one was by the tv. I do have Ooma, the tv and blu-ray hardwired to it. All my phones are cordless DECT6 and none are close. I did move it as high as I can and still won't work. I don't have a lot of options due to the only cable line in is there. The at&t I had was in the cabinet and I had both bedroom tvs hooked up and could use it outside. With this one nothing but the living room.
 
Solution
Get inSSIDer on laptop or WiFi Analyzer for android phone.

Check signal level at end of room, and also check if neighbor is using wifi on the same channel.
