I have a number of machines at the basement, connected with hub. Now,
I have a new computer in the 2nd floor with NIC installed. However,
there is no way to get the cable up from basement. I don't want to go
with wireless Hub/NIC just for 1 computer. I am wondering if there is
any other options that allow me to do the remote connection, such as
wireless relay etc? And good and cheap recommendation?

Other options might include Home Phoneline networking (HomePNA), Powerline
networking, and perhaps others.
networking, and perhaps others.
I suspect wireless and powerline would come out about the same cost--I
suspect $180 or so would do it. HomePNA might be a good bit cheaper.
Linksys sells both HomePNA and powerline gear. Netgear sells HomePNA as do
a good many others.
