Yes, most probably.
Most WiFi routeurs act as a bridge between internal wired network and
wireless network. The routeur part occurs between internal network (WiFi
+LAN) and WAN port. Thus, ARP attacks can occurs between the two
networks, meaning a wireless station can attack a wired one and
vice-versa.

As shown above, definitly yes.
Then it can deploy cleartext attacks against WEP, as an example...
