So my dad is trying to figure out the how to configure his new internet.
He needs faster internet than the terrifyingly slow DSL, and so he is investing in Comcast.
He is buying 10 Mbps Cable internet and wants:
VoIP (Bought through Comcast w/ the same phone number as he has now)
Wireless Internet for the House
and at least one available Ethernet line
Is this Possible using one device? Is this what a Cable Modem does?

You'll need a wireless router of some kind.
I have one of these guys and it works just fine. If he's super into getting the fastest thing, I believe N is the latest fastest wireless.
You'll have cable from the wall (coax cable) into your 'modem'. From the modem, a cat5 cable into your router and then from your router to wherever else.
