   Let's make a point that is extremely crucial to make about Windows "netsh".   
      
   Assuming NOTHING changed (e.g., no interference, no movement whatsoever),   
   Windows *still* will report *different* outputs depending on the cache.   
      
   So, while "interference" and "movement" will certainly change what APs any   
   given Windows computer will see, that's NOT the problem of this thread.   
      
   I just wanted to WARN people that the "netsh" command we've been using:   
    C:\> netsh wlan refresh && netsh wlan show networks mode=bssid   
   Will give *less full* or "more full* results, depending on cache status.   
      
   In summary, the problem to resolve is NOT "interference" or "movement",   
   but the fact that the netsh output depends on what's stored in cache   
   which itself has a temporal relationship to the last association time.   
      
   This thread is seeking a solution to *that* Windows "netsh" problem.
