What is wrong with my internet? When I try to use internet in more than one room they all keep restarting and don't connect. I have to physically disconnect the other routers from the phone jacks in all other rooms to just use one. That means I can only use one at a time but all my family members' televisions, computers and smartphones need their internets. Fuck....
If you have DSL you should have the modem/filter on the first telephone outlet. To it you connect the router (unless it's combined with the modem). This serves as the one and only exit point from your LAN to the Internets.
Everything else will be connected to this one router. This means you'll have to pull cables from the router to everything else needing Internets, or come up with a wireless solution.
The best option is to fuck it all and move out of your parents' basement.

1) remove all routers apart from one.
2) get powerline adapter for every room
3) plug remaining router into powerline adapter
4) plug every PC into a powerline adapter
5) if there's a PC in the same room as the router, plug it into the router
6) put any phones, laptops, etc. on the router's wireless
7) if there's any deadspots in the house, add a powerline adapter and a wireless access point
8) done
1) Use only one router.
2) Connect all the televisions, computers and smartphones on the router's wifi (wireless)
There won't be any problem if the router's wifi signal is strong enough, and any current router should be strong enough to reach at least 3 floors.
If the signal is not strong enough, you can connect a repeater to the first router's wifi.
A repeater is a router that can "repeat/re-send" the main router's signal, much like a checkpoint.
Would it be possible to put some kind of internet device (like a switch or hub) into the phone line box so that I could still make use of the phone jacks in the rooms and use several routers - so that I won't have lan cables going up and down the stairs and laying around on the floors? My wifi doesn't reach very well into different rooms.

You can only use one internet connection per phone line or it'll keep restarting, as you said before.
You could probably use your router as a switch/hub with some adapters to use your phone cables (RJ11) as if they were lan cables (RJ45), but you'd lose in speed/quality if you use too many adapters, and it's not practical.
You could replace your phone cables with lan cables.
You could use a wifi powerline adapter.

The solution is to run cable through your walls. Like this, this is pretty much the setup I have in my house.

It might be that the routers are all using the same local network address and you're connecting to multiple ones at once. Go into the settings and change them to unique ones like 192.168.1.0, 192.168.2.0, 192.168.3.0, 192.168.4.0
