SmartWiFiSelector: strong WiFi

About this app

Smart WiFi Selector - always the strongest WiFi connection!

You know the problem: although a strong WiFi signal is available nearby, your device is keeping the connection to a much weaker, more distant WiFi network. You have to disable and reenable WiFi on your device to force the strongest WiFi connection. Smart WiFi Selector puts an end to this situation! The strongest WiFi connection will always be established automatically.

Advantages over other WiFi Switcher apps:
* Smart WiFi Selector uses the (selectable) difference in signal strenght to decide when to switch to another WiFi. The connection to the new WiFi will happen if the signal is e.g. 20% stronger than the current signal. This eliminates the constant switching - and, with this, constant signal interruption - in the overlapping area of 2 WiFi networks.
* Selectable scan interval for the search for the strongest WiFi connection
* It's possible to exclude specific WiFi networks from scan
* Instant scan for the strongest WiFi connection when the screen gets switched on
* Favors 5GHz networks, if desired
* Sleep mode with own scan interval to save battery. The sleep mode can either be triggered by time or by the connection to specific WiFi networks. For example, if there are multiple WiFi networks at work, but only a single network at home, you may want to put your home network on the sleep mode list. As soon as you leave your home network, Smart WiFi Selector will enter the normal work mode.
* Option to switch to mobile data connection at poor WiFi signal strength

Because of all these benefits, Smart WiFi Selector is the most flexible and most battery-saving WiFi switcher-app in PlayStore!

Ratings and reviews

Only works half the time. **Edit** works like a champ now... the instructions and help could definitely be a whole lot more clear, and should be re-written in a way that even the least tech savvy person could interpret, but I have to say once I thought like an engineer whose first language wasn't English I was able to get it to work exactly as I needed it to. Definately needs an update to make it work easier with the newest versions of Android... that or WAY better instructions!

I use this app everyday since I work from home. After today's update it quit working. The issue was you have to forget the wifi networks in the phone connections and add them in the app only. Developer responded within minutes to fix my issue. Can't ask for anymore than that. Without this app multiple wifi networks at home are useless, this app makes it all work.

I moved to Android 9 and was just looking for a tool to switch networks faster. Found this instead which solved my real problem ( a big concrete house with 4 wifi networks). WHY IS IT AWESOME? * The price is right * The app is very small ( 700k? THANK YOU) * It's got a wealth of support options * It's extremely configurable, meets exactly what I want at home, the "prefer 5Ghz" option is wonderful. Great Job Alexander Tartar! Would use your other tools, but I've not the need at this time. :)
