Well there's 2 problems sorted. You are using a laptop, and you are playing on WI-FI.
You also mention that you are unable to connect via ethernet as you are upstairs when you play. I am assuming from that that you have the internet modem/router downstairs which could make it a problem for your connection.
Perhaps you could try a powerline wi-fi extender. Just google them or look on ebay.
Ideally I would lose the laptop and the wi-fi connection altogether.

update : got BF4 to open. switched launcher from the x64 version to the x86 version and opened it through battlelog. Going to see if framerate is still an issue. have not been kicked by punkbuster. all seems good so far.

  Agreed @elderwarriors ,
  The WiFi is definitely a no go, with regards to wanting to have a stable gameplay connection, hit registration, etc !
