About this app
Struggeling with too many devices around you using the 2.4 GHz Wifi? This app tries to force your device to the less used 5 GHz band.
Depending on the Android version, you will probably have to switch off and re-activate your Wifi.
Please give a try whether this app works on your device. Any feedback is welcome by email.
Necessary permissions:
* LOCATION: Google enforces the location permissions in order to get access to all Wifis around you. Without, the app won't work (unfortunately)
* WIFI/NETWORK: Of course the app needs access to your wifi interface
* BACKGROUND SERVICES/NOTIFICATIONS: to keep the app running
* ADMOB/INTERNET: for Google Ads (can be deactivated)

Love this app! I've been looking for something like this very, very, very long time. Great job Eric! One suggestion for a modification would be to be able to hide the app and have it run in the background all the time, sort of like a VPN app does. That way when I press the "close all apps" button on my Android it keeps running.

Alas seems to not do anything for my Titan Pocket (Android 11), even after turning off and back on my wireless interface. Toggling airplane mode seems more reliable but it still feels like by chance that is Android doing this rather than this app. The app also does not persist in the background so even if it did work i would be repeatedly having to restart this all which is going to get boring fast. Thanks for trying to fix this, it is hard enough persuading wpa_supplicant on Linux to do this!
