If the wireless access point is configured as a bridge, then LANsurveyor will be able to map the nodes connected to it. If the wireless access point (or any router) is configured to use network address translation (NAT), then no network analysis tool will be able to go beyond the device to examine the nodes connected to it. NAT is designed to hide multiple workstations behind a single IP address.
