Originally I bought a Linksys Wireless-G router and then returned it to
exchange for Wireless-N. I think that this may be the reason that a
computer in the basement cant connect to a second computer upstairs. This
is the simplest thing imaginable to me, but there may be a conflict
somewhere I have missed. Any ideas/experiences would be greatly
appreciated.

The workgroup name I gave is the same. BUT, the Network Key (WEP/WPA Key):
1bb9d8b0ec5d40b692f9d552dd is different. Does this matter? And if so, how
do I change it?
 
PLEASE, do *NOT* post the WEP Key. Since you have, please change it ASAP.
