Hi,
You can get a wirless router with 802.11g standard and connect it directly
to your cable modem.
All routers usually have 4 port ethernet port for your hardwired
connections as well.
so your main desktop downstairs could be hardwired directly to the router
using ethernet cable.and the other desktop and laptop upstairs can have
wireless connections to the internet.
the hardware you need is
1) Wireless router
2)wireless card for your desktop PC and for your laptop(upstairs) if they
do not have one.
make sure of the compatabilty before purchasing them,
