Certainly the convertor remote isn't going to reach around corners and down the stairs.

There are IR remote extenders. They have a IR receiver like a TV set that they feed to an amp and another IR emitter that is aimed at the box....Some are 2 box units that convert the remote signals to RF that travels to the second box by the device the remote is to control.
If you are handy with OP amps you could make the first type of system easily, and cheaply...The second kind would require more effort.
