I'm currently trying to do some physical debugging with one of our devices. It would be very useful to be able to use a command to output a list of available wireless networks to the command line or to a file (which I could then run a diff on later). Is there a way to do this in Windows 7?

Try NetShell.
The command netsh wlan show networks
should work for you.
You can save output to a text file by using redirection like so:
netsh wlan show networks > somefile.txt

8if you add mode=bssid to the end, it shows what channel each network is using too.– cantsayNov 6, 2013 at 19:19

Does not work for me on the Windows 10. I have more than twenty Wi-Fi networks, but it shows only one network.– JackdawDec 15, 2021 at 17:40

netsh
garbles Unicode SSIDs. For the two different SSIDs “🧊
” (4 octets) and “F09FA78A
” (8 octets),netsh wlan show networks
showsSSID 3 : F09FA78A … SSID 4 : F09FA78A
