Doesn't that mean that any wifi router is briding capable?
No. It requires at the least different firmware. I think that some
wifi routers are capable of being bridges, but it is not common.
A search through three different wifi router reference manuals that I
have here online (Linksys befw11s4, Netgear wgr614 and wgt624) shows
that each manual defines Infrastructure Mode, which is what you need
for bridging. But none of these consumer-grade WAP/routers implements
that mode.
