Will upgrading my Nighthawk R7800 extend range?

Possible. Depends on distances and building materials that can inhibit signal travel. 

Might look into a wifi extender.

Bit of a stretch. And the R7800 doesn't have the latest and greatest wifi technology.

Any way of  moving the router earler to the yard area?

If you are etending your network it might be worth lpookinh onto Netgear's Various Mesh systems.

Try plugging your needs into the filters on the product pages:

I've been using the R7800 for years and it's been good. I was on our side yard setting up Lumary wifi controlled lights and a TV in a new outdoor bar. My phone was able to find the wifi but kept losing the signal during setup. I'm wondering if upgrading to a new Nighthawk (or possibly mesh system) would extend further outside my house. https://9apps.ooo/

Thank you.

I got this,...

How far away from the primary is it? 

Ugrading to a mesh system and putting one on the exterior wall near where the outdoor setup is might work fine. I did something similar at my home so it covers my above ground pool area. It wasn't to far away and was enough coverage to streaming
