Add Netgear C3000 on Orbi mesh RBK040

Is it possible to add the C3000 to my Orbi Mesh RBK040 system as an extender or access point?   One of my nest cameras that is outside is losing signal occasionally and would like to strengthen the signal at the end of our ~3000 sf home.

    No, the C series mode can only work as a router modem or just as a modem when in bridge mode.

      Thanks - what about the CM700?  That's what's currently on my modem and Orbi attached to - I could switch it out with the C3000.

        The CM700 would be preferred as it doesn't have a built in router and wifi.
