Are you asking about a so called "smart" tv with its own wifi or using the tv connected to a wireless uverse receiver? For the wifi connection you can install a range extender to extend the gateway's wifi range. Read the extender's instructions. However for the att wireless receivers, which communicate to a WAP (wireless access point - the little box ethernet connected to the gateway) you cannot use a range extender. You need to find a better position for the WAP. Use a longer ethernet cable to it to give you more freedom to move it around to get a better signal. The signal strength that the wireless receiver sees is shown in the number of bars on the front of the wireless receiver (3 is marginal, 4-5 best).
