As Axel suggested, the stock antenna when vertical does better
horizontally than vertically, so tilting the antenna might help (at the
expense of horizontal performance).
But that alone might not be enough -- wireless signals don't penetrate
floors/ceilings very well, so you might need to use (say) powerline
networking to get a network connection upstairs either to your computer
or to a wireless access point (same SSID, different non-interfering
channel).
See wikis below for more info.
