2 T Mobile Gateways?

Perhaps look into getting a set of powerline ethernet adapters. They use your houses wiring as a replacement to running ethernet cables. You'd plug one adapter in by the gateway and the other down in your basement and then plug your ethernet cables into both adapters (one to the gateway and one to your computer). As long as both outlets are on the same main household circuit, it should work. Not sure how much of a performance hit you might get versus plugging in directly to the gateway, but probably considerably less of a hit than you're having with Wi-Fi.
As for getting a second gateway as an option, you'd have to determine what kind of signal quality you would get in your basement. It assumedly would not be as good as where you currently have it and would likely affect your speed.
