    How do I find wireless networks in Terminal?

    I like to do a lot of my tasks through the command line, and was wondering, is there a way to see all the wireless networks available in the terminal? I tried 'iwlist scan', and it said all the interfaces do not support scanning. Is there anything I can do?

    Hello and Welcome.
    Try this but change Devicename to your actual device.
    Code:
    sudo iwlist devicename scan
