I have not looked into this myself, but I have read that this is a common 
problem with municipal WiFi. Their signal is okay outside, but too weak 
indoors. Their standard solution is to tell citizens to put a relay box 
in the window. So I would start by looking up what these systems 
recommend. This will probably be inexpensive.

With a little luck and a minimum of equipment you may be able to locate a 
WiFi router upstairs that can be set to join that free network. Then your 
computer downstairs will hopefully be in range of your upstairs WiFi 
router.

Or something like that.
