Put a wireless access point on each floor and link them with either
normal ethernet cable, or ethernet over mains power links.

ISDN is rather old technology now. Why are you still using it?
I have extensive technical knowledge of ISDN and supplied equipment to telcos.
I used to have ISDN for my home office, but dumped it a long time ago
in favour of ADSL.
ADSL is much much faster for internet traffic than ISDN. ADSL not only
gives you a fast internet connection, it also gives you a standard
POTS telephone line for your fixed phone line. I also had a fax
attached to my ISDN line, but that has been replaced with an online
FAX service, so I don't need a fax machine any more. Any incoming
faxes simply get emailed to me. Do you still need outgoing faxes?
Email seems to have taken over now.

Kind Regards

James
