I have 3 laptops at home and I was wondering if I can use this for home wireless internet access.
I use Comcast Broadband internet which provides me with a modem.

   Yes, that is what it is designed for. Works with MAC or PC

   The AirPort Extreme should be fine for home use. Although it is a router, it is not a broadband router, so you will need an external broadband modem attached to the WAN port on the AirPort.
