From what I can see, and considering that I don't know how much 
traceroute-like mtr is and I don't know your setup, you should be 
correct. The idea is that traceroute should reach the AP if everything 
is working, it should stop at the router if the AP is not working, and 
at the hop before if the router is not working.
