Correct. These options relate to the Linksys' WAN IP, the one assigned by
the upstream device (usually your ISP). since you're not using the WAN port
on your router, these options are unrelevant.

Have you checked for firmware updates? If there is no "AP Isolation" option,
it may be something that is enabled and they just hadn't put the option to
turn it off into the firmware that is currently installed on your device.
