You're curious about using a standalone Wi-Fi router without an ISP connection to host a LAN FTP server. Others might say it's possible if the router has enough bandwidth and proper configuration, but you'd need to set up the FTP service correctly so only devices on that network can access it. Some users suggest checking the router's documentation or forums for guidance, while others warn about security risks if not configured properly. It could work, but make sure you understand the setup before testing!

Sure, as long as you possess the IP address, you can generally access FTP on any device.

It would function well. You wouldn't have to use DHCP at all because the system defaults to a 168.254.x.x/16 IP range, while router/AP devices will manage DHCP for you.
