I intend to keep Xfinity internet service, but not the X1 TV package. Thanks in advance for responses.
No. The COAX cable will only be used to connect to the modem/router when you cancel the Xfinity cable TV service. You will have a modem/router for the Internet service. Most likely, you will be able to connect the Internet to the smart TVs with the WIFI signal. You can also use an Ethernet cable to connect a computer or smart TV to the router, but not the COAX cable.
