R6020 doesn’t work without a modem?
So I live in an apartment that offers wifi through a outlet in the wall. I didn’t think I need a modem since there is already wifi in the wall. I got a router and it wants me to plug it into a modem. ...

You are not getting 'wifi' through that outlet. The outlet connects to the ethernet system in your complex. It does not provide any type of internet access untill you sign up with an ISP and install a modem that is compatible with their service, and have the modem provisioned (activated).
