Questioning my current setup
I'm wondering if the way I've setup my network needs to be different. This is my current setup (all wired connection): T-Mobile gateway - Linksys mesh router - Apple TV - The mesh router broadcasts...
I think it's OK as it is, if everything is working. I don't even know if it would work the other way, Isn't the Apple TV communicating with the thermostat via the Linksys Wi-Fi? Another way to look at it: If you didn't have the T-Mobile gateway, and you had a cable modem instead, that is how you would have connected everything. (Cable modem - router - Apple TV)
I recommend setting a really strong password on your T-Mobile Admin account, and the T-Mobile network, and set the network to Hidden. In the app, select the network. Scroll down to turn on Hidden and tap Save.
Edited to add: You should also have strong passwords for the Linksys, and consider making the Linksys Wi-Fi network(s) hidden.
