configure cisco wireless router as a bridge

I have cisco wireless router DD-WRT v24-sp2 . I want to bridge with the existing wireless router, it's Verizon wireless router at home. Then plug the cable cat5 cable to cisco wireless router ethernet port on one end end the other end of the cat5 will be plugged to Desktop that does not have wireless card.

I opened up the configuration page of cisco wireless router.
I need to know if it needs to be client bridge or repeater bridge and the SSID, does it need to be the one that is used for Verizon wireless router.?

Thanks

I have one computer desktop connected to Verizon wireless router which is connected straight to the wall. this computer is in RoomA

I have another desktop in Room C, so it is awkward to run Cat5 cable from RoomA to RoomC.
I have another Cisco Wireless Router dd-wrt.in RoomC, I want to configure this wireless router to get the signal from Verizon wireless router which is in RoomA, then plug short Cat5 cable from Cisco Wireless router port to the Network adapter of the Desktop in RoomC.

How can I configure Cisco wireless router in order to accomplish what I need.??

According to your scenario, Wireless Repeater mode is the only option.
