Use Nighthawk CAX80 as wireless router connected to Ubee DVW32CB?

I think you got wrong device for your combination here.
what you could ask your ISP if they are willing to do for you, is to keep voice on Ubee device and move Internet service to CAX80 as CAX80 is much better in WIFI performance to Ubee device you have.
or you should have ideally got router only device.

A second cable-TV-type modem+router was probably not a wise choice.

Because it lacks an Ethernet WAN/Internet port, I doubt that you can.

If a device has different types of Ethernet ports, then "connected to
device" is not enough detail.
Why do you want to use _anything_ else with the DVW32CB? Are you
looking for better router features, or better wireless-network coverage,
or what?
If your actual goal is better wireless-network coverage, then you
should be able to configure your CAX80 as a wireless access point. See,
for example:

That's written for a Netgear C6300-as-WAP, but the steps are about the
same for any other router (any make/model) which lacks a one-step WAP
option.
