Switch wifi depending on signal quality?

Post by Burton666 » 07 May 2013 09:42

Hi I have two wifi routers at home, but my phone often refuse to change to the router with the best signal. It could be locked to my first router with 0-1 signal bars when the other router has 5 bars of wifi signal. How can I make it so if the first router have 1-2 in signal and the other has 4-5 in signal then change to the best router?

I made this 2 flows but i can test theme because i have only 1 wifi connection at my house. So tell if it work please. You have to enter your 2 wifi in the flows (instead of wifi a and wifi b)

Thanks that seems to work perfect. I was pulling my hair because I tried to use one flow to accomplish that, it never occured to me that I needed to splite them into two flows. Duh!

Great! I don't think the priorisation in the flows is usefull since android already priorise the stronger signal. If you want to remove those actions i suggest you to set it both to 0 before the removal because if you don't there will be priorisation of one wifi over the other. Can you also give me a feeback of the battery because i think the flows will be hard for the battery (we could add a third flow to control the time (like check every 5 minutes)).
