I don't have access to your specific setup details. Consider checking your gateway's documentation or consulting the manufacturer for guidance on whether disabling Wi-Fi would help avoid performance issues.

You should achieve maximum performance this way. I personally do. Do you have a router available for testing now? Disabling the Wi-Fi shouldn't impact anything, but I don’t see a need to keep it on, so I turned it off.

Check if your old college router is still in the box. I was planning to seek assistance before purchasing a reliable third-party router.

I discovered my old Belkin router from university. It doesn’t support 5 GHz, but I can configure it to work with your Wi-Fi bulbs that only use 2.4 GHz.

This should function well during testing, but it's best to stick with the ATT router if your other device can't handle 5GHz. The built-in Wi-Fi on the BG320W is decent and significantly improved compared to your previous setup.

You can configure it either by connecting it straight to the ATT router or set it up in another room using Ethernet.

It needs to be linked through Ethernet to the bg320w. Irrespective of any switches in between. If you're setting it up as an extra access point, it's best to disable NAT on your main router and let the access point handle routing. Likely the performance problem comes from your older router—possibly a 2.4GHz model, which is probably quite outdated now.

Place the router in front of the att box to host traffic. Assign its IP address, so all connections go through it. Ensure the other router has a fixed IP or DHCP reservation, which allows you to manage the remaining devices.

I ran a speed test using Ethernet to the older router, which supports 150 Mbps. The router is a basic wireless model from Belkin, offering 300 Mbps through an ATT gateway.
