cm1000 modem

The CM is just a modem only, there is no router or wifi built in. You need a external wifi router to work with the CM modem. NGs R, XR, RAX or Orbi wifi routers would be someting to look at.

That's a modem, not a (modem+)router. It has no wireless capability,
hence no "range". To what is it connected?> [...] i have an extender [...]
Not a very detailed description of that device, either.
> [...] do i buy a separate modem for up stairs
Buying a (second) _modem_ would probably be a mistake.
It might help if you located and identified all your equipment,
determined what, exactly, is connected to what, exactly, and then
revealed some of that information to the people whom you're expecting to
help you.
