I need to get the Wireless Access Point IP Address and Machine Name and save to a table to record if the user with the device was on the wireless access point for a class to record attendance, and not at the compass library. I have a script for server variables
but it's not in there. I see some open source libraries like opennetcf, but I don't think our security admin will approve using those. Is there some .net or javascript code that will get this information?

No as explained in your other similar threads. JavaScript runs in a browser which is not an option. ASP.NET can only see the HTTP message. Your network device(s) need to append a header to HTTP requests for an ASP.NET application to get this type of
information.
Wireless Access Points manage TCP/UDP traffic not HTTP.
Take a look at HTTP using your browser or a proxy like Fiddler. Then you will understand what's available to an ASP.NET app.
Load balances do have facilities to modify HTTP headers where the load balancer can forward a remote IP address. Otherwise, the application would only see traffic coming from the load balancer. Contact your network admin and/or the device manufacturer
for assistance.
