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.

I use (a slightly different model of) this.

It functions as a wireless client of my primary AP. It provides a bridge, allowing my devices to pick up DHCP addresses from my primary router.

If I can't get it going reusing stuff i already own I'll look into something like this. Thank you.
