Scan for Accesspoints with wifi.recon on We can also show the manufacturer of the WiFi with:

set wifi.show.manufacturer true
wifi.show

If I want to see the access points in descending order of the clients connected to it:

set wifi.show.sort clients desc
wifi.show

We can also sort the SSID Alphabetically:

set wifi.show.sort essid asc
wifi.show

Now lets set how many SSIDs we want to see:

set wifi.show.limit X
wifi.show
