My AP was the cheapest one I could find at the time: BenQ AWL-500. It
can have an address (and you need to give it one in order to configure
it) but once it's configured you can get rid of it's address and let it
run silent.

Of course that means that someone could try to use the config utility to
give it an address, but hopefully it isn't insecure enough to let them
change anything else. (fingers crossed).
