The only wireless mode that allows bridging (Layer 2) over a connection to a non-MikroTik (standard 802.11) access point is station-pseudobridge. It fakes (spoofs) a bridge by using the wireless interface's MAC address for Ethernet clients behind it.
* A.#station-pseudobridge - Works with any AP and can bridge Ethernet # WiFi for one client.
* B.#station - Only works at Layer 3 (routing or NAT).
* C.#station-wds - Requires WDS support, which only MikroTik devices support.
* D.#bridge - Not a wireless mode; it's an interface type used in Layer 2.
Extract from Official MTCNA Course Material - Wireless Bridging:
"station-pseudobridge allows bridging to non-MikroTik APs. Suitable for simple Layer 2 extension with one client." Extract from Rene Meneses MTCNA Study Guide - Wireless Modes:
"For compatibility with standard APs, use station-pseudobridge mode. Other bridge modes require MikroTik AP." Extract from MikroTik Wiki - Wireless Bridging:
"station-pseudobridge is used when connecting to a standard access point while still wanting to bridge to local Ethernet."
