So how does a repeater register all its many MAC clients? Clearly it
gets traffic for all of them because it passes this traffic along. The
AP to which it registers would have no way of knowing that it might lie
and claim that wireline MACs are really wireless clients.

Routers and NATs do not bridge at all. They can route IP packets to and
from multiple machines, but that is a completely different function.

I know the difference between a router and a bridge, but that doesn't
answer the question. :)
