Connectivity to the router C7800
Yes, where I live I have a dish satellite from AT&T. I would like to find out if the router C7800 is compatible, to connect to the router.

The C7800 is a coaxial modem device. Its not capable of connecting with dish service.
You could get a router only device and connec to your current gateway. There'd be a few settings to change but it should work.

Not sure what you mean by "It could help me about the connection"?
A coaxial modem connects to coax isp like xfinity/cox/spectrum.
If you've already got a gateway from your dish services then you'd want just a standard router like the R**** series of routers.
here's the series:
CM: coaxial modem only
C****: coaxial modem/router
R****: router only models
RAX: AX routers
D****: DSL modem/router devices
EX: extenders
EAX: AX extenders
