there are antennas and specialty gear to get you service.
Your wireless card will need to support external connections.
You can also use external bridges with high power transmitters and receivers with external antennas
http://defactowireless.com carries several (CPE Units) which are client units for long distance wireless.

Yes certainly make sure the N type router is given an N type adapter on the computer upstairs. However, D-Link also sells a high gain antenna that can replace the external antennas on one or both the router and/or the computers adapter. The antennas really make big difference.

Buy equipment called WAPs (Wireless Access Points). They are basically antennas

If your using the standard antenna that came with the router, do a search on ebay for a 12db antenna.
