Of course, however again, depends on your wifi devices. Most only max out still. You could upgrade to something with AX however you'll need wifi devices that support that wifi mode. And again, speeds depend on MIMO support. 2x2 can see around 700 to 800Mpbs on AX modes. 4x4 can see 900Mpbs and over. If a router has 160Mhz support on 5Ghz AC like the R7800 has, you see near 900mpbs if you had a wifi device that supported connecting at this rate on 160Mhz. Many variables on wifi.

Would this work for the better speeds as I have one available to me. NETGEAR Nighthawk Cable Modem with Built-in Wi-Fi 6 Router (CAX80)?

While thats a good modem, I can't recommend it. There are some known issues with 5Ghz WiFi on this model modem. Something I have let NG know about.
