If the wifi coverage is not enough when using the C series modem, you can add on NGs EX series wifi extenders to the C7800 wifi and one or two of these will help extend wifi coverage. EX7500, 7700 or 8000 would be suggested for use with the C7800.

Can ORBI be added to my C7800 configuration. What is the best way to extend the range on my C7800. In the past I have had unsuccessful results in dealing with range extenders have they gotten better and if I use them on my C 7800 will it be as good as an orbi mesh system
I am strongly considering using the EX7700 as the range extender for my C7800 Nighthawk. It's a 1-acre property and the house itself is pretty well covered with existing C7800 WIFI. I'm looking for better coverage outside the home and in the garage. My thought was to put the EX7700 at the other end of the home nearer to or in the garage to get better coverage outside.
Is there a configuration that would work with my C7800 with the external antennas on the outside of the house
