Hi all, looking for some guidance on getting wired networking upstairs to my pcs.

Currently I have my internet connection coming in downstairs. Without running cables upstairs is it possible to connect something to my existing wifi network and then break it out to to ethernet?

Any help much appreciated.

Don't bother with ddwrt since it is really behind the curve.

OpenWRT is where its at but you need to proper hardware

After running DDWRT for years on my old router, I completely agree with this. The worst was googling tutorials to do something on the router and everything always referencing OpenWRT.
