OK, here's what I suggest...
Find a central location with 2 Ethernet ports (preferably in one outlet or at least close to each other) where you think the RG would provide better Wi-Fi throughout the house. Then make new connections based on this schematic.
This will require purchase of a female-female RJ45 coupler like this one and a gigabit switch like this one. These can be purchased for $20 to $50 depending on the switch. There are cheaper switches than the Netgear I linked to.
I also suggest, before disconnecting or moving anything, that you find the two Ethernet cables in the cabinet from the location where you're thinking of putting the RG. Then connect these one at a time to the switch (yellow ports) on the back of the RG. Plug a computer into the corresponding port in the outlet and test that you have Internet connectivity from that port. Also test the speed by browsing to speedtest.net.
I'd suggest getting something like this: https://smile.amazon.com/Ubiquiti-Unifi-Ap-AC-Lite-UAPACLITEUS/dp/B015PR20GY/ref=sr_1_2?ie=UTF8&qid=1510783248&sr=8-2&keywords=ubiquiti
I disabled the ATT router's wifi, and I have one of those downstairs and another upstairs. They're wired wifi repeaters and did wonders to improve my signal vs. just going off the ATT wifi router.

Is this the correct gateway? If so, I might try it, though the entrance fee is a tad steep. I suppose I could always return it if it doesn't work out. Are you able to just hook up your router of choice to it and then host anything you need to?
