There is a TV antenna upstairs connected to a Tablo and the wifi signal is weak to the RAX42 downstairs 

Have an R7000 to plug directly into the Tablo upstairs

Is there a way to get the upstairs router to connect to the downstairs unit ?

You have a couple options. 

1. you could put it in access point mode and hardwire it in via ethernet, using powerline adapters, or using moca adapters 

2. you could setup extender mode on the r7000
