Windows will just move to the next AP with a better signal. | |

I used the same SSID at work with all the AP's in the same area on different channels. | |

You won't have any conflicts between the router and repeater as long as they are set to run on different channels. They are meant to be set 3 channels apart. I like using the same SSID and no it doesn't cause any conflicts. | |

If you are happy with the cable you have run from downstairs to upstairs then i'd just got for a repeater. Give it the same SSID and WPA/WEP as your router and the laptop(s) will switch between the two Access Points. | |

I would suggest buying a wireless repeater. | |

PC world sell a £30 wireless router, which you could always plug into your pc, and sit in bed on the laptop. Best way to do it IMO. | |

so you have an ethernet connection already present in your room ( the one that goes into the pc?) and you want to connect the laptop in your bedroom to the network? | |

I'm pretty decent with computers and have set up quite a few home networks but I've got a wee problem. |
