Which model of broadband wireless router do you have - some of the Netgear ones supplied direct by Telewest only support one wireless connection.

Assuming you do have a compatible wireless router, the excercise should be quite simple. Leave the modem connected to ethernet and the router, all downstairs. Run the lappy wherever you want, as at present by wireless. Get a wireless adaptor for the PC (either as an internal PCI card, or exernal USB unit), install the software for this new adaptor and that should be it.
