The router from the cable company is hard wired in the basement. Are you suggesting mounting the extender to the router and connect via ethernet in the basement. Do to it being concrete floors, I don't have a way to get ethernet out of the basement to the first floor.

I was just seeing if you happened to have ethernet ran throughout the home. Some do. There was even a period where homes used cat5/5e cable for the phone lines. They could be easily converted from phone jacks to rj45.
If not, you could always try coax moca adapters or powerline adapters.
