Interestingly, you had no packet loss at the final destination on either of those. There was some intermediate hop packet loss, but we can't say much about that until we see it at the final destination too.
With only 2% packet loss, though, you don't have enough data here to say for sure if the packet loss problem is still happening or not. It could be that collecting 1000 samples will show some loss.
Change your trace interval to 2.5 seconds and run it for an hour. Set you graph time (lower time graphs) to 1 hour, then try posting another picture.
Anecdotally, it looks like removing your WRT54 did impact your packet loss. It could be that you just need to collect more data, though, or maybe it's a time-of-day problem. If it's a time-of-day problem, you'll probably have to wait until a weekday to collect the sample set.
