Have by accident defined the specific SSID for that WiFi network to NAT Mode? Than the AP will operate a local-only IP subnet including a DHCP server for that SSID.
Local Web UI; Advanced -> Addressing and Traffic -> NAT Mode
resp.
WLAN -> SSIDx -> Network Settings -> Addressing and Traffic -> NAT
...and some subnet address and mask somehow matching 192.168.10.x
This would make the WAP acting as a NAT router, hiding all traffic under the WAP configured LAN IP address however.

Talking of the WAP "LAN" interface which you intend to operate on a dedicated subnet on a tagged management VLAN?
