Personally I'd move the router downstairs and find some other way of getting internet upstairs. Internal wiring extensions are a common way to slow down your connection speed. The very guide you linked even says to use cat5 for internal extensions and very few internal extensions in homes ever do that.
The guide also says it's quite ok to use the spare twisted pair in your extensions if they're of decent quality, at the bottom see "Using a single cable to carry multiple extension pairs for ADSL and filtered telephony devices"
