Wired of Wireless (type)

I can run a cat-5 but I definitely will need more than
100meters. Is there a "booster" or something similar that
I can use to increase the strenght and 100meters?

Thanks

From floor-2 to floor-0 is >100m? That must some tall house.

You can stick a switch in the middle, then run a 100m Cat5 cable
from each PC to the switch, using the switch as a signal amplifier.
Or, a router will do, since most have a built-in switch. Or, some
hubs will do, since some so-called hubs are really switches; but,
beware of real hubs, since many will restrict you to HDX and/or
to 10 Mb/s.
