WiFi Prioritizer APK Download for Android

Description

WiFi Prioritizer aims to solve a simple problem by attempting to automatically reconnect to a higher priority wireless network when it comes in range while still being connected to a lower priority wireless network.

Simply drag the networks in the desired sequence and the app will take care of the rest. The default values are pulled from what's set in the system WifiManager. Android will honor those priorities only when it's establishing a fresh WiFi connection. So to help the system WiFi Prioritizer will also update those priorities (if the option is enabled) when you re-order the networks.

I wrote this application for my personal use but figured that if I have this problem, then surely there are other people out there with the same problem.

***NOTICE***
With Android 6.0 it seems the permission to access available access points was included in the location permission group. With version 2.0.6+ I needed add the ACCESS_COARSE_LOCATION permission for the application to work.

NB. Make sure your WIFI sleep policy is set to ALWAYS (Under WIFI settings -> Advanced settings) to avoid unnecessary connect/reconnect when the "Enabling WIFI at start of refresh" option is enabled.

Questions & Answers

Q: What is an APK File?

A: Just like Windows (PC) systems use an .exe file for installing software, Android does the same. An APK file is the file format used for installing software on the Android operating system.

Q: If I install an APK from this website, will I be able to update the app from the Play Store?

A: Yes, absolutely. The Play Store installs APKs it downloads from Google's servers, and sideloading from a site like ApkClean.net goes through a very similar process, except you're the one performing the downloading and initiating the installation (sideloading).
As soon as the Play Store finds a version of the app newer than the one you've sideloaded, it will commence an update.

Q: Why ApkClean.net can guarantee APK 100% safe?

A: Whenever someone wants to download an APK file from ApkClean.net, we'll check the corresponding APK file on Google Play and allow user download it directly (of course, we'll cache it on our server). If the APK file does not exist on Google Play, we'll search it in our cache.

Q: What are Android App permissions?

A: Apps require access to certain systems within your device. When you install an application, you are notified of all of the permissions required to run that application.

5 ★Perfectly solved my phone's weird tendency to choose non-preferred networks at random times. Gives me tools for customizing how and when it will switch. This ought to be part of the Android OS, basically. Thank you for this app!

5 ★Works great for ensuring I'm using BT Hub rather than BT Fon. That is the only thing it does for me but it is an important thing. Unfortunately it doesn't do anything now I've got Pie!

5 ★Love this app - our neighbors have a super strong xfinity wifi connection, and my phone would connect to it, instead of our home wifi - this app let's me set our home wifi to the highest priority, so it is always chosen over xfinity.

4 ★works,but my phone is overriding this,and still connecting to my home wifi because it has internet. i want to connect automatically to my camera whenever i turn it on,even though it has no internet. can you help ? my phone is xiaomi redmi7

5 ★Love the app. It solves a problem i had where my wifi would pick up generic service (xfinity) instead of my dedicated line. Works seamlessly and so far haven't seen any problems!

5 ★Great app, have multiple WiFi networks over my house and this is better than my phone clinging on to something with terrible single from the other side of the house. I like being able to prioritise networks too (so 5GHz over the slower).

1 ★Doesn't work anymore on my Xiaomi Mi Mix 2S since the update to MIUI10. The in system selected network SSID stays the same while wifi prioritizer should change it. I gave wifi prioritizer all rights on wifi, but it still doesn't work.

2 ★Great idea poorly executed. After installation I was not prompted once over a period of 2 weeks and frequently had to prompt the app to scan and switch Wi-Fi networks. Often it would scan and nothing more.

1 ★Doesn't work. Does not change WiFi sources no matter what way I have it set up. Have tried with numerous different sources and it never changes automatically.

1 ★This app doesnt appear to do anything or even work. Even after toggling all the settings, I've yet to get it to switch to a priority network.

4 ★Works well at giving preferred connections if proper use is made of the priorities. Would be nice if it had "forget saved connection" so dont need to go to Settings app.

1 ★Doesn't do its job. When I turn it on, my phone simply keeps disconnecting and reconnecting - to the network I'm trying to deprioritise.
