There's only a bridge between the WiFi and Ethernet sides of the
router. There's no routing function at all, since they're on the same
subnet, Since there's no routing, there's no static route that will do
what he wants. The only way around this would be if the router
supported VLANs and a different VLAN and subnet were used for the two
interfaces. The router would then route traffic between the two
subnets/VLANs.
