Generic wifi adapters will not work with Xbox since you cannot install specific drivers on xbox.
Consider a powerline solution which will allow you to run an ethernet cable over your home's electrical wiring.

Powerline kits come in two pieces. You plug the first block downstairs by your broadband router. Then you plug the other block upstairs by your xbox.

Broadband router (downstairs) <-> Ethernet cable <-> Powerline adapter block 1 <---- Your home's electrical system ----> Powerline adapter block 2 <-> Ethernet cable <-> Xbox (upstairs)

Here is a diagram that explains it better:

You can find them by searching "powerline kit" or "homeplug kit" on Amazon, Google shopping and other sites. I suggest sorting results by highest rating/reviews.

By searching for "kit" you will make sure you get both needed pieces.
