extending wireless range

I have an comcast modem and a d link wireless router hooked on.  Problem is every thing is in my basement, i need to extend the range onto the second floor.

 

Do i buy a comcast certified modem/wireless gateway....and then just plug it into a cable outlet upstairs??

 

I am confused after reading some related posts.

Re: extending wireless range

As an actual potential solution for your range issue you could try using "Powerline Ethernet Adapters". You can Google them for more info.
