Do I need a Coax input for my home wifi?

I've just moved into an old apartment and I'm not sure if there are any Coax inputs. Will it work without it? My last wifi didn't need this.

If your intention is to have your own WiFi home network, then yes, you'll need a cable modem and WiFi router, or a combo modem / router gateway device connected via coax cable to a live Comcast feed. And of course, you need to be subscribed to their internet service

The other end of the line may have been disconnected from the main feed / splitter after the previous tenant moved out. You may need a tech out to investigate / reconnect it if you or the owner can't do it.
