"ipconfig /all" can be run in a CMD window to get the MAC address.

It doesn't show me the MAC of the AP for me, just the MAC of the
computer's WiFi card.

Check router IP from ipconfig against values displayed by "arp -a".

No rogue AP should be an issue with WPA.  Is that not bring used?!

It is not being used. It's a campus network and we do not use
encryption. We do use http://netreg.sourceforge.net/ for
authentication for our students, both for WiFi and wired.

Yikes! That means all wireless is unencrypted and easily snooped.
I would strongly recommend WPA Enterprise for that kind of environment.
