    The pc downstairs must be connected to the wireless router via a cable. It doesn't matter anyway because 54Mbps is far faster than your eircom dsl connection.

    Why the obsession with power? If your router is downstairs then the reciever upstairs is not going to recieve the signal at full strength. The range on a wireless router is not very large. Anyway, the full speed of 802.11G is 54Mbps so you are connected at full speed. There is no broadband at 54Mbps, this is the routers max speed. Your broadband will be at a max of 2Mbps.

    You must have your downstairs PC connected via ethernet cable giving you the 100Mbps connection. It's not going to make the internet any faster though.

    If you intend to lay Cat5e...make sure you dont get it from a shop for €1 a metre as thats a RIP-OFF.
    I get mine for €0.25 a metre and RJ-45 sockets for less than €10 each.
    I'm not a contractor/etectrician and pay full VAT on those prices.

    Paying any more is money down the drain!
