If it set up correctly, then it is possible to ping Router 2 from Router 1 and vice versa:

[admin@AT-WR4562] ip address> /ping 10.10.10.1

10.10.10.164 byte pong: ttl=255 time=3 ms

10.10.10.164 byte pong: ttl=255 time=4 ms

4.5Bridge Interfaces

4.5.1 General Information

Summary

MAC level bridging of Ethernet, Ethernet over IP (EoIP) and Atheros wireless interfaces are supported. All 802.11a, 802.11b, and 802.11g client wireless interfaces (ad-hoc, infrastructure or station mode) do not support this because of the limitations of 802.11. However, it is possible to bridge over a wireless link using the WDS feature or Ethernet over IP protocol.

For preventing loops in a network, you can use the Spanning Tree Protocol (STP). This protocol is also used for configurations with backup links.

Main features:

•Spanning Tree Protocol (STP) and Rapid Spanning Tree Protocol (RSTP)

•Multiple bridge interfaces

•Bridge associations on a per-interface basis

•MAC address table can be monitored in real time

•IP address assignment for router access

•Bridge interfaces can be filtered and NATed

•Support for brouting based on bridge packet filter
