Buy a wireless router and the wireless net work card.\n\nElse u run a cable from the existing modem to the room upstairs.

Several options...\n\nYou can add a high-gain antenna to your router, if it has a detachable antenna type...\n\nYou can add a "Wireless access point" at a different location in the building...\n\nYou might consider re-locating your router...  perhaps it's in a shielded spot..\n\nYou can get a "repeater" which is connected through the building power wiring (though I've never actually tested one of these, and have my doubts about the bandwidth...)\n\nAn "amplifier"? No, because that would put your router outside the limits in the regulations - and probably do all kinds of horrid things to the signal. In addition, yo'd need one at each end of the link...\n\nYou could try a router with a MIMO adatptive antenna system, that might help.\n\nYou could also look at systems like Pre-N, which supposedly has a better range, though you'll need to replace all your devices with Pre-N compatible ones, to get the benefit.

You'll need a wireless router to hook to your cable modem and a wireless network card to put in your desktop.\n\nWhat you need is pretty common.  Just go to your local electronics store and they'll hook you right up.

move closer to it. hahaha sorry. you should get in range of the network first. then if you are still having problems, try removing any obstacles that might be interferring with your signal reception. you might also try (if its your network) a wireless repeater to boost signal strength.

Free:  Put your access point in a higher, clearer location.  Away from walls.  Move it to the very center of where you will be accessing it from.\n\nCost: go buy an antenna, or get a more powerful router/access point.  Upgrade to N technology.  This is a bit newer than G and goes farther.

You can buy a wireless router to connect wireless devices within your home/office, such as MP3 players, a laptop in another room, etc.\n\nHowever, you still need an ISP to connect to the internet.  They act as your gateway, connecting without them is impossible (for all but the most uber of geeks, anyway).

Yes you do. Your Internet provider will send you a modem along with all of other necessary equipment that you'll need. The modems are of course made to work with "their" equipment, making us dependant on them of course, but, that's the way it is. Larry RadioShack 01-9590

I prefer using ethernet hub. Hardwire your computer to the isp means not having to worry about there being a bad signal in the room. So if you haven't already, buy an ethernet hub.

You would need to contact your cable company...They will furnish you with a cable modem.
