What wireless standard is your router compatible with?
All you need is a wireless network adapter for your computer. You can either get one that uses the PCI or USB connection, depending on your preference.

up and downstairs can be a little bit tricky as GL is not exactly known as having strong signal

Yeah, if it's one floor and the distance between your PC and router isn't that far, you should be okay... but if it's at the other end of the house, or it's two floors away, the connection could be a little sketchy.

I would also suggest to go with a usb wireless receiver, as they're much easier to work with and countless times easier to install (put in disc, connect usb when prompted, done).
