   I agree with you.   
      
   All I did was a *single* AP setup on Android.   
   No more than that - and it has been working for weeks.   
      
   From this discussion, I realize I have been "lucky", probably because of   
   the lease period for the IP address assignment hasn't been exceeded.   
      
   The point of asking the question in the first place was because I was   
   surprised it worked so well - because the router was never modified - and   
   the excellent answers show that I was just lucky, as it might not work so   
   well forever.
