Hello,

01. You can scan the remote network address range on SNMP port (UDP 161) with default credential (public, etc.) SNMP 
will provide you information about the system. This is how the application "WIFI Manager" works 
(http://manageengine.adventnet.com/products/wifi-manager/) You can download a free evaluation version of this product 
which will do the work for you. However you will only see AP which accept SNMP. Of course rogue access point won't 
reveal themselves as they won't accept SNMP request neither HTTP administration access.

02. If you have access into the remote network to an admin station with a WIFI device you can install your favorite 
wifi scanner on it and then use it to scan the area ?
