I had (and still partly have) the same questions. I know where to find the answers, but didn't dare to use them. --First "nmcli -p connection show --active" will show all your connections. Or me the access point has name (not id) "Hotspot" (I don't know if the name depends on the device and driver). --Then "nmcli -p connection show --active Hotspot" gives all the details, including 802-11-wireless.ssid (the hostname), 802-11-wireless.mode ap (access-point I guess),IP4.ADRESSE[1] (ip = 10.42.0.1/24, gw = 0.0.0.0), IP6.ADRESSE[1] (ip = fe80::7e5c:f8ff:fe8e:9473/64, gw = ::) and many other infos. --What I didn't dare to do was to try "nmcli connection edit (or modify) Hotspot". --What I did was to modify my DNS setup. In my master zone I added 10.42.0.1 as ip-address for my server (which now has 3 addresses, one for the outside, from my ISP, one not routable for my local network 192.168.xxx.1, and 10.42.0.1, not routable also). In the zone file I added also fixed addresses 10.42.0.xxx for some devices (e.g. a printer which has two addresses 192.168.10.6 and 10.42.0.6; this allows wifi clients to use this printer. I also added a reverse zone 10.42.0.zone. I can't remember how I managed to exclude the fixed addresses from dhcpd range to avoid conflicts but it works. Hope this will help. Sorry for my English.
