conduit / pull string. These are your best friends. If you aren't sure what you want now, this will allow for expansion to w/e you want in the future. I would also do opposing walls in every room, along with what bds1904 mentioned for the access point locations.
If you decide to finish the...
Call the last tech that was out, not a new one. Not only does a new tech have to learn your system/setup, but it also goes against the previous tech (every company ever).
It's likely exactly what MrG said, you are on a saturated node.
Att employee here. Mister is correct. Although there are some apartments (depending on location) that are fttp (in the case an apt). Considering you are currently on legacy dsl, it's not likely the case.
One downside to apartments, we are not allowed to run new lines. (unless you happen to have...
Just do ip pass through from the att rg to your router. Let the att rg handle it's part and just pass the ip to yours. Single pair or bonded won't matter.

If you had power, you could do something like this. Still making changes, but originally this only had 4 lines in it. They do make patch panels built to fit in these, that would work perfect for anything less than 12 lines.
Zipties are to hold shit in place atm btw. they are not tight :) for...
Ha, Was going to reply with roughly the above but then saw your post hit pretty much all my points. Austin is the beta for our gigapower service. Once we start pushing our 17a profiles with vectoring. the >45 will be available to anyone under 2200 ft and the 45 will be able to reach the ones up...
AT&T Gateway > Your router. (your modem will not be involved with the uverse service, just your router)
I'd suggest additional waps rather than another router if you wish to expand your wifi network further.
Your gateway will not need to be switched again if you are going with directTV, only if you went with uverse tv. You can still use your current equipment, just disable routing functions on ours and use your own, and disable the wifi.
