None of those is a model number. "AX1800" and "AC1900" are wireless
speeds.

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...
