No the AX11000 is not a modem, It just works.
 

It’s either a modem, or it’s connected to an upstream modem…. Routers are not modems and modems are not routers. You definitely have a modem somewhere.

(just accidently pressed the submit button so couldn't put both answers in there. Anyway:

The main goal is to increase the Wi-Fi range/speed as I've heard that getting a new router that isn't the stock one can get you your advertised speeds, also extra range would be nice, as our toilet is like an anechoic chamber, and everyone enjoys a bit of YouTube whilst dropping anchor. 

The “best” way to did this is to put your ISP’s router into bridge mode (what ISP do you have, what is the modem number on your modem/router?) and then use your own higher performance router.

If it is just to extend the range get an another router, when I had coax I've bought an Archer 1750 (TP-Link) to extend the range and just connect it to work in Bridge mode, or just as an AP (Access point).

also, it uses 802.11N (now known as Wi-Fi 4) and most of the devices on the network are now Wi-Fi 5 if not 6. So it would be really good to get the extra speed and take advantage of the newer protocols.

Thanks for the help @LIGISTX. I'll probably do that, does the bridge mode fully disable the Wi-Fi on the original stock router or will there be 2 networks?

Yes it should, if it doesn't you can manually turn it off.

The setup consists of an Fiber to Ethernet adapter and the AX11000, that's all I've got inside my apartment.
Maybe there's something in the box where the fiber comes from.

It should. If not there will be an option to disable it.
