Nighthawk Mesh Wifi 6 compatibility with Xfinity
I want to use my own wifi modem router instead of the Xfinity supplied equipment.
Is the Nighthawk Mesh Wifi 6 system - model AX1800 compatible with Xfinity and able to fully replace the Xfinity provided modem/router?
I know other Netgear units are capable of doing so, for example the Nighthawk AC1900 WiFi. Its product box explicitly lists Xfinity on it.
I need the broader (4500 sq ft) of the AX1800 and before buying it I want to make sure it is compatible. Neither the box nor the specifications of the AX 1800 list Xfinity compatibility.

To use a plain router, you'd need _some_ compatible modem.

> Xfinity compatibility.If it's a router, and not a cable modem (or a cable modem+router),
then the ISP (cable provider) would not matter. Without seeing the
actual model numbers, it's tough to know what you're looking at.Look for "Model" on the product label, or look more closely at the
box.Reference to the AC1900 item would be model C7000. Box clearly describes it as a WiFi Cable Modem Router.
Reference to AX1800 model would be Nighthawk MK62 or MK63S (that is all what I can see in the picture I have of the box) and I don't see any reference to "Modem", may be only a WiFi Router unit -- in which case I would still need the Xfinity Modem...
