I recently pulled a WRT54GL off the shelf to use as an AP because I needed
coverage in the living room. High power isn't required for that.

I agree with all of that. Just to clarify, when you say you ran a cable from
your wireless router to the new AP, you connected them LAN port to LAN port,
leaving the WAN port on the AP unused. Using the WAN port creates a second
subnet, which usually isn't desirable.
