That's kind of confusing. An AP is really more like a switch but connecting the LAN to wireless devices. However it is often integrated into a router which also provides WAN/LAN routing.
In order for the WAN port to be on the same network as the LAN side it must be able to function in a bridge mode instead of routing.
In the router models, the AP normally bridges with the LAN while the WAN is routed.
