Hello! I have my Nighthawk X4 AC2350 upstairs, which is connected to an ATT BGW210 router downstairs in attempts to boost the signal upstairs. The Nighthawk router wifi currently has the same name/pa...

You either need to place the att device in modem only mode or you need to switch the netgear router to AP mode. this will fix a lot of your conflicts.
