Re: Bridge mode WGR614v10
Can try and see. Look at the user manual for wireless bridge mode options and configuration of it.
Possible it may not connect due to age of this router and newer security and wifi features on newer generation wifi and security features seen.
If this router doesn't support WPA2 modes, then this router probably won't work.
One can find used WiFi 6 routers that support wireless bridge modes and WPA2 features. NGs RAX series of routers support these features.

That thing is old and slow. I know it stinks to throw away electronics but that device was originally released in 2003. Its time. Its security is old, its old, and its slow.
If you're needing additional speed or coverage, its time to get something from at least the same decade.

By bridge mode I assume that you mean a wireless bridge. (The "bridge" word means different things in different contexts.) The manual for this 15-year old device, based on an original from 2003, says nothing about supporting that mode. It doesn't even offer access point mode.

The WGR614v10 dates back to an era of "blazing-fast network wireless speeds of 54 Mbps". You might like to look for a newer solution to whatever you want to achieve.
