You'll need to obtain a cable router that supports both wired and wireless connections. The idea is that the cable router would connect to the cable modem, then both the 8100 (wired) and the 8250 (wireless, right?), would connect to the cable router.
My 8100 has a built-in network adapter according to my config. So I add the router to that and then I need to purchase something to add to the 8250 (Which is in the basement) in order to get it to pick up the internet signal? Is the router to be one that says DSL/Cable or something else?
Yes, add the wired/wireless router to the cable modem and add a PCI wireless adapter to your remote computer. (Unless you want to run a cable from the router to the remote computer.) There are also USB wireless adapters if you don't want to install a PCI card, but I believe the PCI card is preferable. Here's an example in 802.11b -

You are also correct that you need a DSL/Cable router. This is one example in 802.11b -

Wireless is available in a few different speeds, 802.11b is fast enough for most applications and is the least expensive.
