I recently moved into a new apartment that has built-in WiFi. The building doesn't provide the hardware; I just received a password like you'd get in a hotel. All my smart lights and devices are Philips Hue, and they need to connect to a router. How can I connect my router to this WiFi without having a modem? Is there a way to make my Hue lights work with the current WiFi setup?

Have you checked for an Ethernet jack in your apartment? I've lived in places before where they provided internet through a wall port, which allowed me to connect my router directly without needing a modem. It might be worth investigating!
It sounds like your apartment's WiFi setup could be a bit risky for security. Just a heads up! But if you're looking to connect your router, you might want to try putting it in bridge mode. I'm not entirely sure how that would work since you'll need the password, but it's definitely worth a shot.
Honestly, from what you've described, it's going to be tough to connect your router to that system without your own internet service. Shared networks like that can be complicated. Just some food for thought!
