It works on my Raspberry Pi 3B native WiFi adapter. The Scan button works and I can then select and connect to my WiFi Router.

I will try another WiFi adapter on the RPi 2B and edit this post to add my findings, Sorry for the confusion. - R

EDIT: I have replaced the USB WiFi adapter and can confirm that it still wiill not Scan for available SSIDs when in AP Mode.

However, I used the MANUAL SSID entry field and after entering the SSID and Passphrase manually and pressing SAVE and then Restarting, I was able to connect to my WiFi Router successfully. - Robin

The WiFi adapter has to support what is called "promiscuous mode" in order to be able to scan a network for SSID's.

Comfast CF912-AC is a dual-band adapter that works perfectly in AP mode and also delivers great WiFi performance and reliability.
