RPi3B+ wifi configuration

If you are already connected to an access point, you may have to disconnect before the WiFi chip will scan for other access points.

No, in this case I changed the access point, so I had no connection. Clicking on the wireless icon didn't bring up a list of access points.

Using raspi-config worked, but it didn't scan and show a list of access points. It just gave a place to type in the name and password.

Access point that doesn't broadcast the SSID? (this was my normal configuration: no SSID broadcast and MAC address filtering -- but my most recent Nook and phone refuse to attempt to connect to memorized APs unless they see the AP SSID first)

Nope. Broadcasts loud and clear.

There are a couple websites that claim clicking on the wifi icon should bring up a list of detectable APs, which is what got me to wondering what's going on. Are they referring to an older version of Raspbian? Thanks for reading,
