You're making assumptions that all APs are like your own. |

Your AP would appear to be operating as a transparent network bridge, |
10 |
but others operate as NAT routers. And a device operating as a "dumb" |
11 |
bridge can still have MAC & IP addresses assigned to it, should the |
12 |
manufacturer wish. I'm actually a little surprised to hear that yours |
13 |
doesn't - how does one change the SSID & wireless encryption key, if |
14 |
the AP has no IP address to connect to? |
