You can purchase a Belkin 50 foot Cat 6 ethernet cable for around $20 on Ebay (longer cables are available) and just run the cable from the router to the PS3. For appearance you might find a closet to use to go up from the downstairs and if you have wall to wall carpet you can normally find a space along the edge to tuck the cable under the carpet. You will need a drill of enough length for the distance between the floors. It can take a while, but will be a permanent wired connection and you won't lose the signal as often as a WiFi connection over a distance. You will have the added benefit of higher download / upload speeds when you perform the PS3 connection test than the WiFi connection. It is possible to find someone who will do a professional job on the installation and sometimes because you must purchase tools (drill, drill bits, etc) it can also be the cheapest
