Home wifi help
Looking for some help from any network gurus in here. Switched to CenturyLink DSL 2 months ago. We have the standard issue Actiontek DSL modem from them that has built in wifi. It's in our theater room in the basement where it's plugged into our phone line. The wifi is very weak in a few spots upstairs. What I was hoping I could do is use my wifi router I used to use, upstairs as a repeater. The house is not wired with CAT5, so it'd have to be done via wifi only, placed somewhere upstairs where the signAl is still strong, pick it up and repeat it. Anyone know how to do this, or if it's even possible? I do have a couple of those Ethernet AC outlet adapters I could use to connect the basement modem to the remote wifi router, but those adapters aren't all that fast and I'd rather avoid that. Although our internet service is only 5Mbps, so might not be a huge deal since I think those adapter run faster than that.
Specs on the components in case it helps:
Wifi Router:
Belkin N150 Model# F9K1001V4
Modem/built in Wifi device(from CenturyLink):
