How to connect my desktop to a router that is 100 meters away?

I have a desktop pc upstairs and a desktop downstairs. The downstairs is connected to a wireless sky router. The upstairs one is connect using a wireless usb adapter but this takes about 10 minutes to connect. I want to have a wired connection upstairs to the router downstairs. Any suggestions on how to do this are greatly appreciated.How to connect my desktop to a router that is 100 meters away?
use powerline adapters



- these use mains wiring instead of a long ethernet cable. You plug a powerline adapter into one of the ethernet ports on the router and into a local mains socket and another adapter into your computer ethernet port and a nearby mains socket

Speeds are better than wifi and signals can be encrypted so your neighbour cannot hack in if they have powerline adapters.

They work best if they are directly plugged into a wall socket on their own rather than on an extension cable.

You are going to need to use a wired connection as the max range for even the new 802.11n routers are about 70 meters,



You might need to have someone drill a hole up to the upstairs and put the ethernet cable to be wired up through there.
100mts or 330 ft you live in a big house man
another thing you are going to have to consider is the fact that ethernet cables can only work under approximately 100 meters
