Cannot get new box to activate

Spent 1.5 hours on "chat" and it still doesn't work. So here's the basic question that I can't seem to get answered. The instructions for the box say to hook up coax cable from box to wall.  But we don't have coax cable outlets - new house and everything is wifi (Xfinity set it all up, so they should know...). Anyway, I need to know if I have the right kind of box that will "talk" to the box upstairs for TV stuff or not.  And course I can't get anyone on the phone to actually speak to.
