<li><strong>WiFi Scan</strong> provides a list of the WiFi networks that the
node can see. It cannot show you which other nodes are visible, that is what the
Mesh Status and OLSR Status pages are for. There is an automatic scan mode but it
is recommended that it not be used continuously because the mesh performance
will suffer due to the node spending much of its time on other channels
looking for other networks.<br><br></li>
<li><strong>WiFi Scan</strong> displays a list of other 802.11 signals that the
node can see and only of the same bandwidth. The 802.11 signals include
Access Points (AP), neighbor nodes (connected ad-hoc stations), and other mesh networks
(foriegn ad-hoc networks). The AREDN mesh is created on top of an 802.11 'ad-hoc' network.
Consequently when multiple ad-hoc networks are visiable to each other (different SSID or
channel), the 'network' is displayed and not individual nodes (stations). There is also an
automatic scan mode. It is not recommend to run a wifi scan continously because this will degrade mesh
performance. A wifi scan transmits queries on all channels to discover other devices.<br><br></li>
