Connecting R8500

I have my iMac computer hooked up to my wired cable moden. I do not have WIFI yet. Can I connect my Netgear R8500 to my wired cable modem signal, and will that now become a wireless signal for my SMART TV?

       Does your "my wired cable mode[m]" have a maker and model number?

    (Is it a simple modem, or a modem+router?)

       Visit http://netgear.com/support , put in your model number, and look
    for Documentation.  Get the User Manual, et c.  Set up the router
    according to the instructions in the User Manual (et c.)?
