About WifiFixer APK
Table Of Contents
Description
Many Android smartphones (like the widespread high-end models Samsung Galaxy S7 and S8) are unable to maintain a stable wifi connection in a multi-AP-same-SSID environment. They will not "roam" from one access point (AP) to another as you move through the covered area, but only connect to another AP once they have lost connection with the previous one. Even if you don't move around, your phone might stick to a weak AP, you might not receive push notifications, and your battery will drain with all the necessary retransmits. These problems have been known for years, but the manufacturers just won't fix them. (It is not Android's fault.)WifiFixer periodically checks whether the currently used AP has become weak; if yes, it will scan for others that provide the same service (i.e. have the same SSID), and if there are better ones available it will cause the phone to switch to one of them -- seamlessly. Contrary to the normal behavior, the phone will not lose the wifi connection and establish it again after a few seconds (causing apps to see a network failure).
It is important to understand that this app will not help with all devices; on some it may even worsen the situation and lead to longer disconnects. If this is the case then please uninstall the app.
The free version of the software is fully functional, but will occasionally remind you that a license needs to be purchased for continuous use. No ads!
In case you are wondering why the app needs location access permission: Android will not let apps scan for wifi networks unless they may access your location, seemingly because Google believes that everyone -- like themselves -- regards access points as location beacons. We do not determine your location, and we do not transmit anything anywhere.

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.
