       And that's the reason.  The access point itself sees a wireless
    connection, but the router sees only the wired connection (from the
    access point).

       When a wireless device connects to the router's built-in access
    point, the router knows that it's a wireless connection; everything else
    is a wired connection (so far as the router knows).
