Wifi Roaming Fix
Note: "Wifi Roaming Fix" is a rewrite of "Wifi Strongest signal". It has more features and is more efficient. Both versions are available from Google Play.
If you have two (or more) routers or wireless access points (AP) in your home or office, then this app selects the strongest one as you move around the building.
Note: all your APs must have the same SSID (wifi network name), and be set to different channels/frequencies. The security settings (password) must be the same on all APs.
This app does not replace any Android functionality - you select which network you are using as before. This app does not change networks - it only selects the strongest AP from the network you are using.
The app is very lightweight - it sits in the background receiving measurements from the Wifi drivers. It only does something when the signal level is weak and there is a stronger signal from another AP in your network.
The app includes an algorithm to prevent frequent changes when two APs have a similar signal strength.
In many mobile phones this functionality is performed by the wifi drivers. However in some Android devices this does not work, which is why this app was developed.
This app can save power and give a longer battery life, because when the wifi is connected to a stronger AP, your device uses less transmit power.
If you have questions, please ask in the forum.
