best cable modems in my experience are the Motorola 6120 and 6121.

I would stay away from the modem/routers because I have not found a good one yet. Most only come with G-wireless anyway.

you could use a ASUS RT-N12 router with DD-WRT firmware to create a Bridge Repeater for the other floor.

you only will need a switch and connect it to the router if you have more then 4 devices connecting to it via network cable.

yeah thats pretty much i want i guess. i want to put the modem and router on the first floor. then have a switch to the basement to connect a pc, xbox,laptop and ps3. then just use the wifi for the second floor instead of having two wireless router. would this setup works out better than the previous one?
