I'm not sure; there's certainly nothing that says 'AP' or 'access
point', but there is a drop down where you can select for it to run as
a router or a gateway (I've tried both, but suspect its the latter
option I need).
hmmm - i am sorry but i think you are out of luck here with the unit you have. you need to have a device which can act as a client to your main AP and it can then act a little like a bridge and give access to your other bits upstairs. i think that unit you have is a simple AP and you cannot really link it back into the main network without a cable.
normally in that situation you would get two bridge units and position one at either end. a quick fix might be to get on of these linksys things for your wife's present:
Linksys: WGA54G - Wireless-G Game Adapter
HTH, cheers
