You don't need to turn off NAT, NAT is what converts your internal
network addresses into the single IP your provider gives you, you'll
need this.

Assuming you want to use the broadband upstairs from the PC
downstairs, you do to work out how to get the router downstairs to be
a wireless client, which is a whole different ballgame. Very few
retail routers can act as clients and it'd be way easier to get an
ordinary wireless lan card of some sort for the downstairs PC.
