It doesn't require IPv6. The modem is just as aware of all the private IPv4 addresses on your network as well as all the public IPv6 ones.

Unless you put your own gateway (layer 3 switch, wifi ap, linux router) in front of it.

From my understanding it tracks signal strength between two points (gateway and printer for example).

Putting your phone in airplane mode doesn't make it think you have left the house.

That would require Comcast to have access to your router, or more precisely, the NAT.
