MK63 and ATT modem with WPS

I have the MK63 mesh wifi 6 router. How should it be hooked up to an ATT modem with a separate WPS which is used for a separate TV?  Since I installed the wifi system, the seconary tv does not work.

       What, exactly, is your (unspecified) "an ATT modem"?  Maker?  Model
    number?  If it has its own "separate "WPS", then it sounds like a
    modem+router.  Cascading multiple (NAT) routers can cause multiple
    problems.

     

       If your (unspecified) "an ATT modem" can be configured as a
    modem-only, then you could use the MK63 as your one router.  But then
    the only device which you could connect to your (unspecified) "an ATT
    modem" would be the MK63; all client devices would be connected to the
    MK63.

     

       Another one-router arrangement would be what you have now, but with
    the MK63 configured as a wireless access point, leaving your
    (unspecified) "an ATT modem" as your one router.

     

       Visit http://netgear.com/support , put in your model number, and look
    for Documentation.  Get the User Manual (at least).  Read.  Look for
    "Set up the router as a WiFi access point".
