Description
For those of us that have more than one router at home or work, switching between routers when we move rooms can be an inconvenience. Often we forget to change between the routers and end up downloading things at an extremely slow rate, or on mobile data without realizing.
This tool will automatically switch to the closest preferred router when you move around.
Features: -Define a distance at which it will switch routers -Set preferred routers -Turn off mobile data when switching between routers -Switch between repeaters -Ability to switch to 5GHz or 2.4GHz for any network that supports both -Routers load by BSSID instead of SSID, allowing for easier router identification
Recent changes: Fixed ad bug, more updates to come soon

★★★★★
Exactly does what it says. Free version requires one touch (to notification) to switch wifi. It doesn't require any user interaction after upgrading to pro version and switches automatically as it says (my Android 7.0 experience).
★★★★★
I dont use this to automatically switch. I use it to make my phone stop automatically switching. I do that with the prefered check box. Work has too many APs and my phone keeps switching between equally signaled APs with the same name. For my purposes this app works great
★★★★★
I use the free version and it does what is expected. Just tick your preferred network from the list and the app gives notification asking to switch when the preferred wifi is available, once granted permission it switches to your prefferred wifi network. Being using for over a month now without issues, thanks developer.
★★☆☆☆
Free doesn't work, required to buy pro to actually do what is advertise. To switch wifi!
★★☆☆☆
Does not work as intended. Supposed to switch to a better signal network by asking (per free version) but does not. Switch range achieved, nothing happens. Uninstalling.
★★☆☆☆
Agree with others. It did work before, but now it keeps being terminated (by android?). When manually starting the app, it switches correctly, but it should just keep running always. I have the paid version, please fix this.
