Good luck getting your DHCP on your AP to provide the necessary fields
for an LTSP workstation.  All of the cheap Access points that I've seen
have very limited dhcp servers, that don't allow you to specify things
like 'filename' and 'root-path'.  Both of which are critical to an LTSP
workstation.

Can you instead setup your wireless router to act as a wireless bridge
instead?
