Im trying to find info about setting up wireless network for a double story house, but on the net there's all this computer jargon that drives me insane. So if there's anyone who can clarify how to set up a wireless network I would be really great full.

In addition, since the area to be serviced is large... You might want to consider only MIMO routers for the wireless access... These have more power and wider coverage than traditional equipment. In larger homes, the traditional equipment usually fails after 50 or so feet distance. The newer MIMO equipment will span much larger area.
Also, make sure that you use some level of encryption to protect your network from prying eyes! WEP is normally insufficient these days... Look into WPA as a more secure protection.
