Default Powerline product question need wireless expansion

Hi,
I have a Linksys Router (WRT54GS0) upstairs and signal is not strong
enough downstairs in my house even with 14db antennas. I do not want
to burn any new third party firmware in the router and adjust power
output.

Note I did have a Linksys WRE54G wireless extender downstairs to
amplify the signal but it was problematic and did not have a strong
enough or consistent signal. It has since been tossed.

I would like to have wireless access downstairs for laptop use (will
buy this year), and streaming audio to a stereo (via a Squeezebox unit
I possess).

I would like to run a connection from my router upstairs to some sort
of Powerline adapter upstairs.

--->>Then downstairs I would like to pick up the signal through the
electrical system via another Powerline adapter BUT I want the signal
to be wireless...

What is the best bet or choices/combinations of products to accomplish
this?

I guess I could use Ethernet Powerline adapters on both end and
perhaps plug in another AP but perhaps there is a better way to do
this.


Thanks in advance for all suggestions...
Patty
