With At&t it is going to depend. I have gigabit or 1000, whatever it is called. The do not support anything officially, but it should all work fine. Here is how I'm setup and I have no issues, but it could depend if you have a different version of gateway.

Gateway is setup as normal, you can choose to shut off wifi if you have access to plug in if needed. Any port on the gateway is plugged into the WAN port on my ASUS router. Then on your router, you need to change the LAN IP address so it doesn't overlap with the gateway. I set mine to 192.168.2.X since the gateway is 192.168.1.X. Then all the automatic settings on the router should enable you access everything.

I used to have to set the ip address and bind it on the router, so if you have an older gateway it may be more difficult.

You are right that the At&t gateway is way too slow and cannot handle wifi traffic needed, specially if you have many wifi or smart devices.
