What would cause downstairs radiators to be cold while upstairs are hot?
It's because heat travels upwards and cold downwards so naturally the upstairs will become hotter then the downstairs.

If you were inside a six story house and you were on the third floor could that mean that you were upstairs and downstairs at the same time?
Yes, it would depend on the reference point. You would be upstairs from some people and downstairs from others.
Is it appropriate to have wood flooring upstairs if downstairs has different material?
As long as the decor flows. You may, however, consider that carpet would absorb upstairs sound (like heavy-footed walking around) that would be heard downstairs.
At what temperature should you keep your downstairs air to help cool the upstairs or does the downstairs air temperature have any effect on the upstairs if you have two central units?
I have two separate systems, one up and one down. The downstairs unit does nothing to cool the upstairs. It is probably because cold (heavy) air sinks and hot (light) air rises. To have any effect on the upstairs, you would need a very well insulated house with few windows, and you would have to make it extremely cool downstairs. Inversely, you can use your upstairs system to help cool your downstairs, for the reasons explained above. Since hot air rises, your upstairs system has a larger cooling capacity than your downstairs unit to take care of the larger demand.
Can you hook up 2 routers to the same socket so can i use a splitter so i can use one router downstairs and route a cable upstairs from the same socket on the wall and use another router upstairs?
Yes you can but it would be more cost effective to use 1 router (downstairs) and a network switch upstairs as each router will typically support up to 255 connected devices.

In an apartment complex why would sink or dishwasher drainage show up in a downstairs neighbor's sink?
Because they share a common drain line which is clogged. Gravity and a common drain pipe means the back-up would appear in the downstairs drain, even if it appeared to be cleared in the upstairs drain. Be glad you are not just slightly uphill from the clog. The sink line line needs to be roto rootered from upstairs, through downstairs, through to the common basement drain to clear out the clog.
Why would air bubbles come up in downstairs toilet when upstairs toilet is flushed?
partially clogged drain or vent, improperly installed vent or drain
Can you flush the upstairs toilet when you have the downstairs toilet off and capped off?
If your plumbing system is properly installed there should not be any problem. If it isn't installed properly, you would already have water from sinks and bathtubs backing up out of the downstairs toilet.
Why would a 2 story house with 2 water heaters have hot and cold water in the downstairs bath but only hot in the kitchen and no water upstairs?
it sounds like there are crossed lines. if there is no water upstairs there has to be a valve that is off. even if there is low pressure it would eventually fill the line and you would get some water.
What would cause a mildew stain in the ceiling of the downstairs bathroom?
This could be caused by your exhaust fan not properly removing moisture from your bathroom. It is always a good idea to use some X-14 (a mildew remover) every coupke of weeks when you start to see mildew. It is cause by lack of air flow in your bathroom, or a leak from upstairs. Is there is an upstairs bathroom? If so you might have a small leak somewhere in the supply or drain lines in the upstairs bathroom. If not a leak then possibly condensation is forming on a shower or tub above this bathroom.
