Well its been a while since I used that but I don't remember it having a "Universal Repeat Mode" which a few of the other systems do have. If it has it you just need to enable it and give it another SSID and then set a new DHCP set for inside!.
CORRECTION this does appear to be in the software now

is the link to WLAN repeat mode.

With out it you can only use WDS (which requires the other end to also set up WDS for you). If that isn't possible you can't use just that one box for what you want.

You can add another router behind the bridge and then redistribute from there. Bridge---->Router--->Your computers.

However, If you don't have specific permission from the AP on the other end you need to know you are committing an illegal act and jail time as well as big fines are being issued for those who do connect illegally to someone elses network.

You probably can't. You'll need another WAP at each end where you want to have wireless access to the LAN from client machines.
