grab an N router with some sort of speed booster. And i recomend Linksys, for two reasons:

1) Dlink has failed me 2x ( DI 604 , and some wired version )
2) Linksys has good customer support if you between 9 - 7ish PST.

I have the exact same setup as you ( router bottom floor , comps top floor ) and the range is shit 1/3 computers. the computer that is directly on top the of the router will have awesome signal, while the one thats only 10ft away will have shitty signal and speed.

also if you need to buy wireless adapters, buy the PCMCIA(sp?) - the ones that u stick directly into the comp. the usb ones are crap, regardless of brand.
