You should be able to configure one of the AP's as a repeater. This will allow you to extend the range upstairs. That 
is assuming that the APupstairs can catch a signal from the AP downstairs.  
There is no need to do bridging unless there will be wired connection upstairs.

Equipment is a Marconi wireless router with 4port hub/switch upstairs 
and a Linksys WAP55AG accesspoint downstairs.

I basically do not as yet have a wire running from the upstairs ADSL 
router and was wondering if it could be done securely by connecting 
wirelessly to the router with the equipment I have. The wire will be 
pulled in January but I was wondering if there was a way, using the 
eqyuipment I have, to accomplish it wirelessly.

Tnx
