WIFI Question

Hopefully one of you can help me with this wifi question.

I've got a small network at home, half of it upstairs and half of it down, soon to be connected to the net via BE. I can't fit any more cat5 cable as the parents are getting annoyed with the amount we have in the house already. There are going to be 2 switches as you can see from the very crappy picture ive added. I'm after a way of linking the two switches via wifi to allow all machines on the network the ability to access the net. from what i've been reading, would i need to buy two wifi routers with bridging mode?

Any help would be greatly received, as i really don't want to fit wifi cards in each machine.

Have you thought about using Homeplug network adaptors to link the two switches over the houses electical circuit ?

I use a pair of Dynamode adaptors bought from broadbandbuyer.co.uk and have had no problems at all with performance and they were literally plug and play :)
 
cheers for all your help promod and answering all my PM's.

Ive heard good reviews from the ethernet over power cabling and it would be cheaper and easier to get up by the sounds of things, the 10 meg netgear X102 would do fine with the line noise stats you have posted in the past.
 
I brought a £30 belkin Wireless AP from PC the other day, bridged the connections and its all working fine. Not the best solution in the world but it seems to work well and its saved me a few quid, bring on Thursday and my BE activation date.
