I use VOIPO with cable and a wireless router. It works like this… The internet cable comes into the cable modem. The network cable comes out of the modem into the VOIPO device. The network cable comes out of the VOIPO device into my wireless router. I can use internet anywhere in the house like normal. Then a phone cable plugs into the VOIPO device and plugs into a wireless phone base. Now I can use my wireless phone anywhere in the house too, but all calls are VOIP. Very cool.
Here’s some information and a discount on VOIPO.

Your remote router in your room upstairs need to have a “bridge mode”. If you can configure it as a bridge, you will be able to span between the downstairs LAN and your upstairs LAN.

If you can’t bridge your two routers, you will need to get yourself another wireless router that can functions as a bridge, or get a couple of Wireless Access Points to do the bridging for you.

If you can get your wireless routers, or access points, to bridge then you should be able to use VoIP on your upstairs PC, or plug a VoIP ATA box into one of the bridged router ports.
You will need to configure both wireless routers used in bridging to Port Forward or Port Trigger the appropriate VoIP SIP and RTP ports required for VoIP to function properly. This is always a primary consideration when using VoIP behind NAT-Routers and Firewalls.

you need to use a wireless bridge, it will connect to your wireless network and you plug a network cable into it. if your router has an “access point” mode, that will work too.
