For the love of god don't pull out the patch panels and re-terminate there is absolutely zero value in doing that. The monkey has you covered.

As I said earlier. What does he currently have for WiFi? Where is it located? Is it close to a patch panel? I asked it he could post a picture.

I think it would be best to assess what is in place and then plan the best solution.

I curreently have a cable modem next to my tv, running into a brand new wireless router. I hard-wire the tv from the router. The wifi signal is good in the basement, but upstairs (and especially up on the 3rd level where the girls are) the signal is weaker. If we wanted to add an xbox, or a new tv upstairs, I'm afraid the wireless signal wouldn't be strong enough, which is why I would like to relocate the wireless router upstairs, and still hard-wire our tv in the basement.

The patch panel is in the utility room in the basement, about 25 feet from the tv.

If you want to talk, I can assess what you have and help you figure the best plan with what you have to work with, as well as options if you want to do things differently.

Thanks sigmonkey. I appreciate the offer. I talked to a systems engineer at work and I think he's got me straightened out. If I run into any problems, I'll give yiu a shout.
