Using two extenders in my home

Which model netgear do you have?

How big is the home?
What is the interior walls made of?
Our ranch house is about 70 ft. long and 36 ft wide with a large screen porch extention. It is a wood framed house, sheetrocked, and has lots of interior walls.
The tp-link product is AC1750, dual band, gigabi router, model Archer A7.
The modem, (with wifi) is an Arris product. I've taken a photo of the product sticker and attaching it.

If it was me?
I'd use the Arris as primary router where its at.
Use a powerline or moca adapter (ethernet over coax) and move the tp-link archer to the middle of the home and run it in access point mode.
