Thx a lot for the information. I tried the code and it shows connected devices, what about the non-connected WIFI devices. I am trying to scan all the surrounding non-connected WIFI devices and print their Mac address and signal strengthen if possible.

Similar scan for APs is already provided by SDK.
But, scanning unconnected stations is impossible since they don't broadcast their MAC.
