How to get the changed Wifi RSSI in real time?

Question
-
I am programming to get the LAN Wifi RSSI from my desktop - Thinkpad W510 with Windows 7.
I can successfully get RSSI value for each AP by invoking WlanGetNetworkBssList() in C/C++ . When I move from a place to another, I believe the RSSI values should be changed, but they hasn't been updated immediately in my program until about 1 minutes.
I guess if wifi driver in Windows7 doesn't get the latest RSSI each time I call WlanGetNetworkBssList(), but give me the old value from a cache. Who can help explain it?

Hi,
There was a Windows Desktop XP Wireless SDK forum, and a Windows Desktop Vista Wireless SDK forum, but both are locked now. I couldn't find one called "Windows Desktop 7 Wireless SDK", and the .NET Framework Networking and Communication forum is closed as well.
I think you can ask in the General Windows Desktop Development Issues forum:
