I think you can connect the normal Ethernet cable to the xbox , but u will need to extend a cable from upstairs to ur xbox room downstairs which i think will ruin ur life
.
I recommend buying a good Access point that will be able to give u wireless connection for a large area -
i can honestly say i dont know what that means haha

hope u understand anything -
A wireless router or AP upstairs, not connected to your existing router in any way, obviously can't get your Xbox onto the internet. So you would have to run a cable between the two routers. But then you could just plug the cable directly into the Xbox, enjoy a faster and more reliable connection on the Xbox, and save yourself the money for the second router.
If you can't/don't want to run a cable, consider replacing your existing router with one that includes wireless support. -
