A device acting as a Wlan bridge needs to have the ability to act as both a WiFi client and a WAP at the same time. Your old ADSL router cannot do that.
If you could get an Ethernet connection to the landing, you could configure the old router as a WAP, however using a LAN over power adapter which has a WiFi Access Point might be far easier.

To improve coverage first choice is a second access point (AP), connected by Ethernet. Second choice would be the power line adapters as suggested by Townman. I use TP Link and can confirm that do not affect my ADSL signal at all. The only functional difference is really that the power line adapters are not as fast or reliable as Ethernet.
Using a wireless range extender is very much my third choice for a couple of reasons. Particularly because unlike the first two options they have to be on the same channel as your existing AP, meaning they are sharing bandwidth. Having said that it can be a simple fix requiring only one additional box. And if you can set it to talk to your existing AP on 2.4GHz but connect clients on 5GHz (or vice versa) then that helps with the bandwidth issue.
