First off, you need to fill in some information like, description of
house, how many walls and floors the signal needs to pass through,
their composition, the make and model of router you are using, the
device you are trying to connect with...

Then consider any metal that might be between the two antennas that
are trying to connect and tell us about that.

Then people can help.

Quick tip: try angling the antenna so that the long side, not the
tip, points to where you want to connect.

Wireless packets are lighter than air and therefore tend to rise more
easily in an upwards direction. You'll find it easier connecting from
downstairs to upstrairs. If you must go in the opposite direction, I
suggest using something that's heavier than air, such as copper CAT5
wire.

More commonly, the floor is full or foil backed insulation, concrete,
or something that blocks RF. In addition, the antennas that come on
the typical wireless router are vertically polarized, where the bulk
of the signal goes in the horizontal direction. Very little goes up
or down. You can improve things somewhat by playing with the antenna
orientation and pointing the rubber ducky antennas horizontally.
Otherwise, look for a DIRECTIONAL gain antenna for the router.

Incidentally, if you have any furthur questions or need additional
abuse, please supply some clue as to what hardware you're using and
building construction details.
