You can connect another router to it, just make sure that your have the 2nd router in access point mode or you'll have a double nat issue.

Spoiler
 

Or you can put the C series modem in to modem only mode and then connect a external router in router mode. No double NAT here.

Re: Connecting other routers to C7800

Thanks for your input.  Very much appreciate it.  I'm going to have to use a very long cable.  Should I specify highspeed for that cable.  I see there are cat8 cables.  Would that be a good choice?

Re: Connecting other routers to C7800

depending on what you're doing/plan for the future, cat 6 would be good for up to 10gbps at 100m. 

theres a bunch of details you can go through if you want.
