I don't see why not, you can always run an Ethernet cord right from it into the apex if it doesn't pick up wifi.

We need more information. I'll assume that you already have internet service and wi-fi in your house. One option is to run an Ethernet hard line from the Apex Jr. to your existing modem/router. Or get a wi-fi extender with an Ethernet port. Connect the wi-fi extender to your wi-fi network, then plug the Apex Jr. into the extender.

yes i have comcast and wifi i do have. running a hard wire wont work long term be cause it would be in a walk way. ideally wifi would be better. i can order that extender just didnt know if that modem/router would work

That's a cable modem which will need a cable internet hard connection. If there's line there already, or the cable company runs one, then that modem will work.

No it will not. Need an extender.
