How many bars are showing on the front of your wireless receiver? The WAP (little box connected to your gateway - wireless access port) needs to be able to "clearly see" the wireless receiver. That is dependent on the construction the signal needs to pass through and the distance to the wireless receiver (you did say it was down stairs, maybe too far away).
Try using a longer ethernet cable to connect the WAP to the gateway to give you some freedom to move it around to different places to see if you get a better signal to the receiver. Ideally 4 to 5 bars is good. 3 is marginal. It's easier to move the WAP around than the wireless receiver but if you have the appropriate cables the same "game" can be played with the wireless receiver too.
What model WAP and receiver do you have?
Buffering? Not sure what that means in the context of the wireless box. Pixelating and losing the signal I can understand in the wireless box.
