nmcli on Linux does have a 'rescan' command. Running rescan and list on 
the same machine, same location, again and again, will frequently report 
different APs with different signal strengths. 

Another laptop, 10' away, shows a few more although that vaires between 
rescans. A laptop 4' away shows many more than the desktop.

I presume that the difference between machines is a combination of 
location and the wifi device, but that doesn't explain the difference 
between successive rescans on the same machine.

If netsh is broken, so is nmcli.
