What is that modem?
AC1750 is not a reliable guide to model number. Many devices come with an AC tag, but it is essentially a label that Netgear, and other brands, attach to hardware to describe wifi speeds.
It sounds like it is a modem/router. You run the risk of having a very messy network with competing routers.
Two routers on your network can cause headaches. For example, you can end up with local address problems. Among other things, the other router can misdirect addresses that the Netgear router usually handles, such as routerlogin.net or the usual IP address for a router, 192.168.1.1.
This explains some of the other drawbacks.
What is Double NAT? | Answer | NETGEAR Support
A lot of people have Orbi systems that they run in wireless access point mode.
Arlo security cameras create their own wifi network. They come with a hub that you have to connect to your router. One hub may not have a big enough range for cameras that are far apart. The dimensions of you property don't sound that massive but it is the distance from cameras to hub that matters rather than the floor area.
