I would have to ask you if your looking to replace your existing Wi-Fi service from your MAIN Modem, and use the this one in its place to play games, stream movies ,etc.? 


If that is the case, then yes you can certainly plug this into your main modem, and then follow the easy directions to set it up and your ready. I would certainly advise that you get into your main modem function settings and disable it's Wi-Fi- to eliminate any possibility of interference. 

Hope this helps.

Yes, setup is done via a smartphone app, but it seems like overkill without a computer.

We would recommend signing into the router to make some basic configuration changes (i.e. changing username/password, setting up your SSIDs, connecting to your network, security, etc). Instructions can be located beginning on page 16 of the User Manual: http://www.netgear.com/support/product/r9000?cid=wmt_netgear_organic#docs

You need to be able to do some basic configurations that can be done on your phone. When you open the box your network name and key will be taped to the modem. You will also want to go in and configure this for IPv6 as it is defaulted to IPv4.

I plugged this in to my router and was up and running in minutes. Any config changes you would like to make can be done on your phone.

Have fun it is blazing fast!!
