Maybe, but you would need a continuous wired ethernet connection from the basement to the third floor. If the house is fully wired for ethernet, then I don't understand why the modem needs to be in the basement. It sounds like the house may not be fully wired. I tried to Google this, but it seems complicated. The internet provider may not allow two routers to send out the same wifi signal.
