Most newer modem combo units are spendy, even ones that don't support single SSID. The CAX80 supports smart connect thus 1 SSID name for both 2.4 and 5Ghz. I can't remeber off the top of my head if the C7800 supports smart connect. Been a while since i've had mine online.
You maybe best in migrating to a modem only option, then installing a external wifi router or wifi mesh system behind the modem. This would better give you flexibility on wifi and router choices. Something you could look into a NG orbi 1 series wifi mesh system that supports smart connect and a signle SSID name for both radios. I believe the 1 series orbi is NGs cheaper version for Orbi. 2, 4, 5, 7 and 8 series Orbi range from
$400 to $700 depending upon system picked and retailer price. Or get a NG R or RAX series model router. Most R and RAX series support smart connect with signal SSID names between both radios. XR series routers are gaming routers as well if your a gamer, also support smart connect.
