Conntrack packets through a bridge

Installing and Using OpenWrt
1

I have 2 WAPs that I'd like to see the active connections passing through. Since these are just APs the connection between the radio and the lan port happens through an ethernet bridge and bypasses the firewall so the connections are not tracked in under the connections tab in realtime graphs. Is there a way to conntrack packets through a bridge? My best idea would be to use nftables bridge filtering but I'm not sure how to go about that?

Once you accept ct state whole table becomes stateful. It is next to and unrelated to fw4

May I ask why?
Why can't you inspect the active connections on the router?

Rotuer in question isn't OpenWRT and can't run OpenWRT and can't do that...
