Routed Client Doc Erroneous?

Re: OpenWrt Project: Routed Client page https://openwrt.org/docs/guide-user/network/routedclient

Problem: iwlist scan fails

Router Details: Linksys WRT1900ACS V2, OpenWrt LEDE 17.01.5 installed and reset to default values

Following the preliminary instructions given near the top of the page --
RoutedClient-iwlist

PuTTY returns --
iwlist-fail

(Here I assume that the bullet notes such as "Remove the disable 1 option from the wireless configuration" refer to the commands listed above and are not instructions of further things to do before executing iwlist scan.)

iwlist has been replaced by iw, see
https://openwrt.org/docs/guide-developer/networking/network.interfaces#old_and_deprecated_utilities_for_networking_and_traffic_control

https://openwrt.org/docs/guide-user/network/routedclient should be updated accordingly.

There is also no need to put the device in station mode anymore nowadays, a mere iwinfo radio0 scan should suffice, regardless of the state the radio is in.

When I try to thank people individually I get a message to the effect it is redundant and I should post something different. So let me try this.

Thank you tmomas and jow.

Perhaps I should not be wasting forum drive space thanking people and just use the thumbs up and/or solved flags in the future?

In this thread both tmomas and jow share the solution since they both provide informative details, but I can only flag one as a solution.
