Ah, I thought it was a MikroTik. What you're describing sounds something like the behavior of those lame Scientific Atlanta cable modems that the some of the oldest Cox customers still have. They would issue exactly one DHCP address and make exactly one ARP entry during any power cycle. If you tried to substitute devices without powering down the modem, it wouldn't talk to you.
You could always cheat and just appropriate an unused IP address in the AP's address range as your static. Especially if you can get the AP admin to shorten his pool to guarantee it to you.
