re: Can someone explain to me how to add a better router to the default combo ATT gigapower

Run Cat6 cable from ATT unit to the LAN port of a better wireless router, and put that router in access point mode. You can do the same with a regular access point as well.

I've actually done exactly this. I hooked my Nighthawk router to the shitty modem/router combo AT&T provides & can now see my wifi even when I'm 2 streets over. But I lose about 1/2 the bandwidth even when hardwired to the access point. Granted, you don't notice any difference between 1g and 500mbps, but still frustrating not to have full speed.
