You may want to consider forcing your upstairs devices to use 2.4 GHz instead of 5 GHz. 2.4 has a longer range.

What modem was replaced by the Arcadyan? If it was a T3200 would swap that right back in, even more so if you have COAX wiring to your upstairs floor and can put a second one up there using MOCA and have a second wired hookup up there, let alone the wireless signal. If not, no worries you can get them on Kijiji, as well as the fibre SFP's (better) for building a enterprise class system, removing the consumer grade wall wart ONT and router completely.

Do you have just the Arcadyan router, or is there an ONT as well?
If you have an ONT, you can run Ethernet between it and the new location of the router. Otherwise you can extend Wi-Fi with a Telus Boost addition, or use an extension fibre cable. I’ll see what I can learn about fibre extension.

If you have fiber connection now, then it means you have an optical modem. I would suggest, running a cat6 cable from the basement or from the optical cable going to the main floor and connect it to a router/wifi. If it is not possible to run a cat6 cable to the main floor, buy a good gigabit powerline network extender.
