How to setup OpenWrt as a WiFi bridge and then use it as a WiFi Access point to connect wireless devices?

Installing and Using OpenWrt Network and Wireless Configuration

I used this video to make a WiFi bridge and I did it:

In this video you can make a WiFi client and bridge it to LAN ports.

Now I want to share internet (which is now accessible by LAN ports) to other devices by WiFi. On the other words, I also want this Modem (which is a WiFi bridge now) to act as an Access point too.

Could you please help me how can I do this?

Just setup another SSID and select lan as the the network. Simple.
