I stand corrected (by myself :-)). It turns out my BSSID *is* listed
(in ).
Apparently my router reported (slightly) different MAC addresses than
the MAC address (BSSID) of my SSID. When I used 'Arlen''s 'netsh wlan
...' method [1], I got the correct BSSID.
The reported location is quite accurate - within some 10 metres or so
- but useless, because I live in a city and in an appartment building,
so there are hundreds of other Wi-Fi Access Points close by.

[1] I think I had tried that [2] before, but it first failed saying to
'Run as administrator', then it failed saying it needs 'Location
services', but it still failed. Later it turned out that it also needed
'Let apps access your location' to be switched on. (All on Windows 11.
Settings -> Privacy & security -> Location.)
[2] Something similar to "netsh wlan show networks mode=bssid". I think
'Arlen' also posted a 'netsh' command which only reports the BSSID of
the SSID you're connected to, instead of all the visible ones, but I
didn't find that again.
