   Out of interest I made the following batch to output lists of SSIDs from   
   the NETSH output:   
   NOTES:   
       first FOR /L cmd is number of lists to make.   
       second FOR /L cmd is SSIDs to list, may line wrap.   
       TIMEOUT is optional and number of seconds between lists   
   FOR /L %%N IN (1,1,3) DO (   
   DEL F:\_Network?.txt > NUL 2>&1   
   C:\WINDOWS\explorer.exe ms-availablenetworks:   
   NETSH.EXE WLAN SHOW NETWORKS >> F:\_NetworkS.txt   
   FOR /L %%S IN (1,1,15) DO (FINDSTR /C:"SSID %%S " F:\_NetworkS.txt >>   
   F:\_NetworkL%%N.txt)   
   TIMEOUT /T 5 > NUL   
   )   
      
   Comparing F:\_NetworkL%%N.txt lists you will see that the order of SSIDs   
   produced appears to be by signal strength and could be used to change   
   Wi-Fi network connection.
