Nope, only the 'receiving' end needs to be configured for bridge mode.
The transmitting side just acts as a regular access point.

Another good suggestion! I gather, then, that the primary router (the
one now connected to the outside world) doesn't require any special
bridge mode features? Just the client?

What I've done in a similar situation is to use a wireless router as a
wireless client bridge and then connect the desktop computer to one of
the router's wired ports.
If you have an unused wireless router compatible with
openwrt/tomato/ddwrt firmware, you should be able to set it up as a
wireless client bridge (or something similar). It may be possible that
some wireless routers support this feature with factory firmware, but I
don't know.
If you already have access to such a router, then this might be an
option to consider. It does have the nice benefit of giving you a few
more wired ports at the same location, but may take up a little more
space and needs its own power connection.

Looking more for cheap/easy-to-install rather than performance.
