Yeah, that commercial-grade hardware didn't actually isolate at the PHY-MAC layer is a bit surprising. How would they have working VLANs at the AP?

Fun story, back in uni, if you would spin up a webserver ($ python -m http.server 8000 for example) one could access it from other campuses. We never tried it across countries, but it might (have) worked

802.11 is kinda poorly designed in this regard, but they do isolate to some degree. I need to read the paper, some claims here have a very strong "misunderstood or wrong or specific vendor problem" smell.
