R7000 installation
Netgear tells me I need a Smart phone to download the installation software. I DO NOT own a Smart phone. Is there another way get the software to install my router? If there is I can't seem to find it on this site. Can I use someone elses phone?

Of course, you can always use a computer with a Web browser:
Consult Nighthawk AC1900 Smart WiFi Router Model R7000 User Manual, p.20 ff. "Use a Web Browser to Access the Router " - plemansGuru - Experienced User
when you're going through setup, the browser will ask you to use the app. but at the bottom of the page is a link you click on to proceed with using the browser.
