My router is on the 3rd floor of my house connected to the main household PC. My laptop and the cable box I intend to use are in the basement.
So which is the better way to go: Sling Link or Just get another router?

If you look at how SlingLink works they want you to port the data via the AC wall plug. This would really be your last choice as AC has quite a bit of 60hz noise in it which has a huge impact on signal quality (this is one of the reasons why AC networking has never taken off, not to mention signal loss issues due to AC noise over distance).
It was designed for the complete novice with the aim being ease of install.
If you have the option to add a router, that would be your best choice as you can maintain as clean as possible bandwidth.
