@ -84,6 +84,8 @@ WiFi Scan
A passive scan does not transmit probes, so there is no risk that unintended transmissions will interfere with radar stations on DFS channels. Automatic scan mode is available, but running a scan continuously is not recommended if the node is actively routing traffic. The auto-scan is passive and only listens for other beacons across all channels, but there is a risk of data loss on the assigned channel.

.. attention:: With some devices, a scan will momentarily disconnect the wifi from the mesh so the radio is available to perform the scan operation. It is recommended that you perform a scan when connected to the device in some other way.
Once the scan has finished, you can click the *Refresh* button to start a new scan. If you want your node to rescan continually you can click the *Auto* button. Click *Quit* to return to the **Node Status** display. Once the scan has finished, you can click the *Refresh* button to start a new scan.
