This is not a dumb WLAN client. A WLAN client does ordinarily just have one MAC 
address (the address of the WLAN interface).
Thus you can't just bridge the WAN port with the WLAN client network. You 
either have to NAT the traffic or use WDS (3-address-mode) or
ARPNAT. Both WDS and ARPNAT are not standard-compliant and the access point 
needs to support it. Have a look at the Wiki for that.

If that's okay for you that's the easiest way to go. Use Multiwan if you want 
to use multiple networks.
