why is amazon mixing up all netgear router reviews/q&a? i should be able to review/ask questions/etc. on the individual product-the q&a is sad!

That always happens. Makes the reviews on the site useless.

do I need modem for this? or will this handle modem, router and wifi R6900P?

You will need a modem. This is just a router.

Can i use the r7000p-100nas as the gateway (the first router to the house) for verizon fios. is there a better one with mimo dual band?

Yes, you can use it as a Gateway for your Verizon FIOS. It is a dual-band with Mu-Mimo. Are there better ones? Yes, quite a few. It all depends on what your needs are. This one supports 802.11ac standard and has been around for a few years. The current standard is 802.11ax which supports even faster speeds and a wider array of devices simultaneously... if your WiFi devices are new enough to support 802.11ax, not a lot are at this point.
