ON your OpenBSD machine running pf, it sounds like you have 2 ethernet cards (one connected to Internet, one connected to your local network which you are NAT'ing to). Plug the internally-facing ethernet into the 8054 WiFi router (router as the client), configure it to use the same subnet as your internal ethernet card, and run everything (wifi and wired) through this router, with your usual NAT setup. It should not matter that your machines (kindles or whatever) are getting an IP address in a different range (via DHCP from your 8054), the wifi router will forward them on to your firewall/pf regardless.
