There’s a chance you can set up an Ethernet connection without using your current modem and router. You could purchase a new modem, place it in the living room, and connect it to your existing router downstairs via an Ethernet cable. Then link your PC to that modem instead of the one on the second floor. This way, you’ll have a stable connection from upstairs without needing a Wi-Fi adapter. It’s definitely doable if you follow the right wiring steps.

What kind of connection do you receive from your internet provider? Do you have cable? You can't connect to another modem without purchasing additional service from your ISP, but with coaxial connections, you can access the internet through those lines.

Uses a powerline adapter with two parts—one connects directly to your wall outlet while the other goes into the router or modem. The second part plugs into a desired location, such as upstairs, and sends the Ethernet signal from the first unit. Some models also include Wi-Fi functionality. This reliable option is widely available, like the Netgear Powerline AC 2-pack adapter.

Use an Ethernet cable (Cat5E or superior) from the router's LAN port on the first floor to the PC on the second floor.

It seems you're attempting to connect Ethernet to your PC without a physical cable. Would you like me to recommend a Wi-Fi extender with an Ethernet port as an alternative?

Certainly. It means you have a connection setup for your coaxial cable in your living space, allowing you to receive or send signals through that outlet.

Do you have a coax port available? Yes, it can help you achieve nearly ethernet speeds.

The item includes two coaxial metal components, but your wall port only shows one protruding part. It seems the setup might differ from what you expected, and it’s possible the device is designed for a different configuration. You might need to check the manual or contact support for clarification.

Connect one device to the wall close to your PC, and another near the router. Just use a single port; the other serves as a direct connection.
