It's currently called the "Home Networking Installation Option" (see the Feature Summary for Comcast High-Speed Internet on comcast.com):
Home Networking (2-5 Computers): This option lets you connect up to five devices wirelessly. The one-time, $49.95 fee covers connection of devices to the Internet, network security setup and shared file/folder setup. Since it's a one-time fee, I assume you're paying for a wireless NAT router, and not for multiple IPs.
