[QUOTE="L8APEX, post: 16380794, member: 51947"] Unless you feel like pulling some Cat6, get some power line to ethernet adapters. Have one plugged into one of the regular lan ports on the back of the main router upstairs and then downstairs plug another powerline to ethernet adapter in and connect the ethernet from it to the wan port on the Motorola. Follow the instructions on the adapters as you will have to "pair" them. With the Motorola being a combo modem/router it will complicate things. You might not be able to disable the modem portion and just use the router, which makes it as useful as a brick. Most only will act as a modem or a combo. You'll have to do some reading. If the Motorola can work, (let you disable the modem/ keep router) Then you should be able to setup a router downstairs however you want. You might want to change the channels on both to the opposite sides of the available frequencies ie channel 1 upstairs and 11 downstairs on 2.4ghz (same for 5ghz if you have it on the Motorola.)
