Is it a Comcast gateway with built-in WiFi? I know some of them have only a single Ethernet port. For those, you just need an Ethernet switch, similar to this:

If you have your own plain modem, then you will need to get a router since residential service only allows one IP address (generically meaning device) connected to the modem.
