Hi Tracey,
You don't need the airport router anymore! They are so out of date.
One other note is that I'm not crazy about routers given by your ISP,
I prefer to buy my own, but, I have heard good things about the
Xfinity router.
As far as security, just choose WPA2 and give it a good network
name/password and you'll be all set.
I wish Apple was still updating the Airport routers they were some of
the best I've ever used and the easiest to setup.
Hope this helps! Jeff
