Wifi to ethernet (lemmy.world)

Hi all, looking for some guidance on getting wired networking upstairs to my pcs.

Currently I have my internet connection coming in downstairs. Without running cables upstairs is it possible to connect something to my existing wifi network and then break it out to to ethernet?

Any help much appreciated.

I've used both a DD-WRT wireless bridge and a wireline adapter and much prefer the wireline adapter. Data speeds are much higher without the potential for wifi issues and without the complexity of setting up a wireless bridge.
