It works now that I have the syntax figured out!

Windows & Linux FINALLY matches what Android & iOS reported all
along for *all* devices attached to the network!

Thanks to Whiskers for suggesting Fing on Linux/Windows for
listing out all the connected network devices.
https://www.fingbox.com/download

Not a single other Linux or Windows command worked to date
other than Fing. For example, neither arp-scan nor nmap worked
to list *all* the devices on the network that fing on unrooted
Android and iOS reported.
$ nmap --script broadcast-dhcp-discover -p67 192.168.1.0/24
$ sudo arp-scan --interface=wlan0 --localnet

Yet fing worked perfectly once installed on the desktop computer!

$ sudo fing -n 192.168.1.0/24 -r 1

Notice that Android phone (192.168.1.5 & 192.168.1.8) has two IP
addresses!

Here is the fing result on the phone at the same time!

Finally computer results match unrooted iOS & Android results!

Please ignore this thread.

That final report was meant for a different set of newsgroups.

Since we are talking about fing, is it possible to have fing return a
chart like the above but including the vendor (if known) and the Client
ID? I've been having to do it manually and it's a pain.

Your name of interest to me as I consult part time for Lucite
International. I see you are making products from their monomers and
polymer. Nice looking products.

ding, Ding, DING. We have a winner.

Tells me any network near me and which "802.11 radio type" neighbors
are on plus the channels they use and security type.

And it is FREE

Oops. <http://www.piriform.com/speccy>

It will give details on the neighbor networks (my bad)

Sample:

Wi-Fi (NETGEAR11)
SSID NETGEAR11
Frequency 2437000 kHz
Channel Number 6
Name NETGEAR11
Signal Strength/Quality 62
Security Enabled
State The interface is connected to a network
Dot11 Type Infrastructure BSS network
Network Connectible
Network Flags There is a profile for this network
Cipher Algorithm to be used when joining this network AES-CCMP
algorithm
Default Auth used to join this network for the first time
802.11i RSNA algorithm that uses PSK
Wi-Fi (home)
SSID home
Frequency 2462000 kHz
Channel Number 11
Name home
Signal Strength/Quality 32
Security Enabled
State The interface is connected to a network
Dot11 Type Infrastructure BSS network
Network Connectible
Network Flags There is a profile for this network
Cipher Algorithm to be used when joining this network AES-CCMP
algorithm
Default Auth used to join this network for the first time
802.11i RSN

Belarc will give your local network connections :)
