   Q: How to show ALL nearby Wi-Fi AP's BSSID every time   
   A: I don't know if it's possible. But we can maybe get close?   
      
   This will show the active Wi-Fi interfaces on our PC, and their states.   
    netsh wlan show interfaces   
      
   But in a recent thread it was stated we can list all the nearby Wi-Fi AP   
   BSSIDs with this command, so that we can also see our neighbor's APs.   
    netsh wlan show networks mode=bssid   
      
   That command asks our Wi-Fi adapter to report what it saw during its most   
   recent scan. Different outputs can easily result depending on scan timing.   
      
   Sometimes I get a full scan of all my neighbor's access points & mine.   
   However, more often than not, I only get a single AP reported.   
      
   I found out this is a known problem in how Windows reports access points.   
      
   If we run that netsch command right after an AP connection, we'll likely   
   see a fuller list of nearby APs. If we run it later, we may see cached or   
   partial results even though nothing has changed in the nearby environment.   
      
   Essentially, the results are arbitrary (depending on last cached state).   
      
   Windows netsh wlan show networks doesn't guarantee a full RF sweep every   
   time. It dumps whatever the adapter's scan cache has at that moment, which   
   can vary wildly.   
      
   One way to try to force a fresh Wi-Fi scan is to run refresh moments prior:   
    netsh wlan refresh && netsh wlan show networks mode=bssid   
      
   While that's better, it's still almost arbitrary how many access points it   
   reports in my environment where each time it runs, I get different outputs.   
      
   You likely will get different outputs each time you run it also.   
   What can we do so as to get the "real" full possible output every time?
