Sorry - I found the source problem! The setting on the upstairs unit was incorrect, and turning it on correctly works fine.

Thanks anyway - and sorry for getting the name wrong (that's what I thought I saw on the website of the extender thingy).

Thanks.

Um, I kind of hoped that using a wireless extender would be the same as plugging it into the router. It's pretty much the same.
