Buy two WAPs, the LinkSys should be fine.  Set them both on the same
ESSID with the same authentication.  Disable NAT and DHCP on the WAPs.
Put one WAP at each end of your house.

Disable the Wireless on the AT&T U-verse.

Connect the WAPs to your U-verse network [not via the WAN port].

You should be good to go.
