Make Gateway and separate router the same network?
I have ATT fiber 1000 but the gateway wifi doesn't reach upstairs very well. I have a TPLInk upstairs connected to the gateway through an ethernet cable to spread wifi upstairs. However, the ATT Gateway router has a different wifi name than the TPLink Router, so devices that need to communicate on the same network, don't work when one is upstairs and the other is downstairs. Is there a way to have the TPLink router be part of the same network as the ATT Gateway downstairs? I need the coverage of both units for the entire house to be covered.

You don’t need ip passthrough. Just give the tplink Wi-Fi networks the same network name and password as the gateway Wi-Fi. Your tplink is functioning as an access point.

We're here to help with your Wi-Fi setup, @JWP_JCM.
You will need to configure IP passthrough to set up your 3rd party gateway behind the AT&T gateway. Keep in mind:
If you are having issues with your Wi-Fi coverage, we recommend using a Wi-Fi extender to spreading your Wi-Fi signal to more areas of your home.
Let us know if this helps.
