What you are seeing isn't the AP connecting to itself, it's a ccx client passing information back to the AP.
192.168.1.184 is a client with an Intel chipset, that is passing information back to the AP, which AP it's connected to, wireless_ap, and that it is Associated with the Radio 0 of this AP. The 'Parent' line is there for when you are bridging between two AP, so you can look at the connection and know whom the parent is for that particular link.(incase you were using multiple repeaters)
HTH,

not necessarily it would depend on the ccx version of that device.
But yes, what you are seeing is normal. I have some devices on my ap that say the ap they are associated to and others that don't.

hi Steve,
Sorry for my understanding level.
NOT really understand, if in this case, then the mac address 2c44.015d.81bb, also should be appear wireless_ap at the "name" column, right?
But why only this 001d.e082.4af7 appear?
Another question: Do this normal? It is correct sympton?
