Abstract
Scanning methods and systems for wireless networks are provided. In response to an operation, at least a waiting time corresponding to a wireless network scanning procedure is changed from a default time length to a predefined time length, and the wireless network scanning procedure is accordingly performed. When the wireless network scanning procedure is terminated, the waiting time is changed from the predefined time length back to the default time length. If a specific wireless access point detected in a second scanning operation is not detected in a first scanning operation, which is performed subsequent to the second scanning operation, an alive count corresponding to the specific wireless access point is subtracted by a predefined value. If the alive count does not equal to a specific value, the specific wireless access point and at least one wireless access point detected in the first scanning operation are displayed.
