Sometimes using different channels can actually cause trouble. Certain wireless clients (some Centrino based laptops have had this issue) first scan the different channels. When they find a channel where there is at least one AP with the correct SSID they associate with the AP that has the strongest signal strength. The remaining channels are NOT scanned. This is against the standard. That means that if the AP with the weakest signal (upstairs) comes first in the search order for your wireless client and they are on different channels, it may not pick up the better one (downstairs). If the two APs are sufficiently far away they might not cause too much interference anyway so you could try to set them to the same channel. Regardless how you do it you should use channels 1, 6 & 11.
