Doubtful. With a combo modem/router, there is no WAN input connector as that whole connection process is handled internally within the component. What you need to do is look at the back side of the modem/router and see how many RJ-45(Ethernet) connectors there are. NOrmally, you get 4 out and 1 in for a total of 5 connectors. or if there is one that has a different color. If this is the case, then you possibly could use it.

But odds are, you will very likely need to get a new router.
