Agreed. And it would simplfy things a lot. From checking the innards of
a commercial router which makes extensive use of bridges, i *think* the
OP solution can work with a bridge... But the biggest problem i have
with it, is that his single box is doing way too much. That will be an
unpleasant device to maintain. With lots of options to shoot yourself in
the foot, especially during upgrade time.

When you start adding in requirements like a WiFi guest network that
solution quickly becomes even more complicated. Not impossible, just
complicated.
