I watch alot of youtube video's and etc when in bed, but my Wi-Fi strenght is really weak there. Yes, I do have a modem with wifi downstairs but that doesnt give enough strenght. Isn't there like a device that you plug in a socket and gives you wifi?
 
Yes power line adapter: originally they were just for extending Ethernet connections.
Now they do the same but basically, you plug it into next to your router. Connect Ethernet from router into adapter.
Plug other adapter into your router and it will extend your wifi. And you can create an Ethernet connection from it too :)

Here is one I recommend to buy.

Thats also a problem, I already bought a powerline months ago without WiFi
 
1) Yes powerline adapters (AKA homeplugs) are what you need as it will use you're properties wiring to link the homeplug connected to the router to the other one(s), and with a homeplug with a wireless AP (acess point) it will extend the Wi-Fi.

2) The other solution is to find a cheap wireless router without a modem installed (no modem/router combo) and set it up to be a AP in a wired bridge configuration; using your existing homeplugs to connect the addiotional wireless AP to the main router, which saves you buying more homeplugs.
