I just install the DD-WRT on the router, but already read several times and try several times to configure the router.

This is what I need to do. My neighbor and I split the internet bill. So I need to connect to the router of my neighbor. The signal is good I can connect using my laptop or with a repeater. But I want to configure the router to connect, but at the same time use a different SSID that is separated from the network of my neighbor. Right now I connect with my laptop as a public connection, just in case.

That's why answered, this is the part where you add the AP with a dif SSID
Virtual Interfaces Section
Add
Wireless Network Name(SSID) : Same as the primary router (v24SP2 I have not had any problems with signal dropping)
Wireless SSID Broadcast : Enable
Save
go to security set neighbors and AP security the AP could have the same or dif. Save & Apply Settings

Thanks I already connect with a different SSID.

This is what I do, I connect as a Client Bridge to the network of my neighbor. Then create a virtual interface with a different SSID.

Now the problem is that I can see all the resources of the network my neighbor.

I what way can be invisible to the other network. Do I need to connect as a Client and then add a virtual Interface?

Yes, with a dif. ip from neighbor router, from Client you'll be able to see neighbors but neighbor won't be able to see you
