Try the other wireless flavors for different speeds. Find the most up to date drivers for your wireless adapter.

This is likely the cause of the slowdown. Upgrade to a switch.
Also - if your 100 ft cat-5 cable is kinked, it is junk. I would suggest running another cable from the modem to upstairs as a test. Just run it through the house if you have a long enough cable, and see how it fares.
