I recently got the Comcast upgraded modem and have a number of Macs including my Mac Mini running OSX 10.9.4. All use Airport for connectivity. My wireless Rosewill modem is connected to the new Comcast-provided modem in the same way my old one was. Cable into modem, ethernet into wireless, and so on. I don't know why you were told NOT to use Airport. It works like a charm for me. The only change i noted was increased speed--as advertised.
