Auto switching between wifi networks

The walls in our house are either too thick or my wireless hub is too thin, so I have to have two of them. The trouble is, I tell WM6 to connect and it connects to the last one I chose even if the signal strength is very poor and the other hub signal strength is very strong. I can change manually, but that is a pain. Generally, I struggle with poor connections for ages until I realise why. Is there any way to make WM6 automatically switch to a network (one which is already authorised) if the signal strength is much better than the existing one? It seems to do it automatically if the last network is unreachable, but not otherwise.

Hi,
In this message, "NETWORK = WIFI", not cell.
Before responding, you may want to go and look at a program called "NetSetMan" for the PC (Windows), to reference what I mean here.
NetSetMan runs all the time and auto-switches to an available network. It has 6 tabs that you can customize (it is not limited to 6 networks though).
Tab 1 = Home Network. You set up your own network here. Mine's Static, so it's handy.
Tab 2 = Generic, Free, Open DHCP networks.
Tabs 3-6 = Any networks that you visit however often, that are passworded, DHCP or Static.
You can set these tabs up for anything you want. That's how I use them on my laptop. You can even set up the printers on the various networks if you want. It's a really cool app!
The point here though is, that I want an auto-connect app that will just do it (hence, "auto") and I do't have to worry about it. I can either preconfigure, or configure at the time, but either way, "remember" networks and have the ability to auto-connect to any standard, open network. But I don't want it to ever switch to another network, while I am connected to one of my "remembered" closed (passworded) networks. People seem to complain a lot about apps switching to a weaker network or something and in my opinion, an app like this should never switch when you're on a preset network, unless it goes down and another "remembered", or open network is available.
Does anyone know of a decent auto-switching network app out there? Even if it doesn't work exactly as I described. I can start writing to the developer and see if he/she/they will do something to make it better. Most are pretty good about it.
Thanks,

i guest the best wifi apps didn't have the more advanced option like the way you want it.
it just switching back and forth based on the saved wifi networks which has the best wifi signal out there.
the minimum default signal is set to 4 out of 10, then if one of your saved wifi networks has signal above the current using,
it will switch to the one with the highest signal.

I use WEFI Connect from the Play Store. I believe it does what you're looking for.

Unknown apps.

I tried that one. I must have missed something in it. Is there a setting that you noticed?
Btw, I asked a question out of curiousity, but even though people are talking about it, no one seems to know what "WM6" is. I just noticed it's in the context of network connection apps. Do you know what it is by chance???

Android passive wifi survey - hidden networks / ssid not seen

I am using a samsumg galaxy tab to conduct WIFI site surveys of both work and other wireless networks. The issue is that it can only see hidden networks / ssid's which the device is connected to. If there is a network next door and it is hidden, the device can not see it. I have been using wifi analyser and wifi manger, plus tried many other apps but none of them could see the hidden networks.
From what I can tell, android can not see hidden wireless networks (unless you know about them and connect to them). Is this correct? if so, has anyone come up with a workaround or fix? I know from a PC, there is many apps that I use to see all these networks. It is just easier to take the tab then to take a laptop. I also use it to identify faulty AP's, works a treat if you know the network.
Thankyou.

I also have faced the same problem with my HTC Hero! :S

Per default a hidden network can not be seen because it doesn't broadcast it's SSID. If you know the SSID though, you can connect to the network.
WiFi stumblers that show hidden networks basically just grab packets from the air and grab the SSID from them. (simplified explanation)

I understand that hidden network do not broadcast the SSID, however they still broadcast management frames that a WIFI analyser can pick up. For example, on a PC using netstumbler, you can see AP's without the SSID being broadcasted. This at least shows you what AP's are in adjacent buildings, channel they are on and their mac address, regardless if the network is hidden or not. I am wanting to know, if there is an app around that can do the same but on the Galaxy Tab.
I am not trying to connect to these networks, I am just wanting to know if they are or might be interferring with out company's wireless network. (ie same channel)

Can anyone assist me please or answer my question?

What device/rom/modem?
I'm on an I9000 with Darky 10 and zsjpg modem, and I cannot use a wifi with hidden ssid.
I revise my question to: is it not possible on certain devices/roms?

You can connect to hidden networks if you know the SSID, however I am trying to see all hidden networks around me without connecting to them. The same as you can do with netstumbler on a laptop. I have tried the netstumbler android app and this can also not see hidden networks. So far, all apps I have tried can not see them. I am thinging this might be a restriction of Android. Can anyone confirm this?

I haven't found one that does either, but like I said my phone doesn't seem to be able to even connect to a wifi with hidden SSID, so that may be why for me.
I have a buddy with a Xoom here at work, I'll see what he says. It runs Honeycomb though, so not an apples to apples comparison.

Yes please. Would be good to know if a xoom can see hidden networks.

He isn't 100% sure, but he doesn't think it does.

I would also like to know. How can we get this working on Android?

bump for answer

I had this problem on my Galaxy S2 I9100 with kernel UGKG2 but the problem went away after flashing kernel XWLA4.
Not sure if that will help anyone or not but it now works correctly with the new kernel for me.

[Tip] WiFi Settings

I typed this up to help out some people with WiFi problems. I find it works great I'm in no way a expert so please feel free to correct me or add to this.
How to check and change WiFi channel.
1. What router do you have? Brand name and model number can be found on the router or if you installed any software when you got it.
2. Check this list for your default ip address CLICK HERE (or follow the steps for ipconfig)
3. Go to the default ip address using your web browser just like you would any other website.
4. You should now be asked for a user name and password this may not have been set. If you don't know the user name check HERE find your router model and try to use whatever it says for username and password or just username and use the password you use to connect to your wireless network. (try Admin or Administrator)
5. After you get logged in you will be able to see all your settings every router is different but you are looking for wireless settings.
6. Turn off 5GHz if you don't need it. 5GHz has a shorter range and I find never works good with our phones. Setting may read (5GHz Network Mode "disabled")
7, Using the WiFi analyzer app from the market find a open or less busy channel. Channel 1 and 6 work best but are the most used. The idea is to make sure you do not overlap anyone in your area.
8. Back on the router settings page you should find 2.4GHz settings. Change the channel to the one you picked from WiFi analyzer.
9. Save settings or apply. After this it is best but not necessary to power everything down router, modem, computer, phone, and get a fresh start. Check the WiFi analyzer app again to make sure the Channel you picked is right and give it a few days of testing.

What a timing! I figured everything you mentioned above last week when I noticed I was getting only 3mbps down on my phone while 25 on the laptop. So I played with channel/width settings and found out that when i use less busy channel instead of auto(which is 1 or 6 or 11), my phone started to get ~23mbps down but my laptop dropped it a bit (~18mbps). I couldnt find a reason why this happened though (tried several times at different time of the day every time rebooting the router) so i reverted back to auto mode since i need highest speed on my laptop. Maybe someone expert in this field can throw some light? Jack_R1, where are you?

Check this website for more info on the channel width info and a bunch more tips on speed.
http://www.smallnetbuilder.com/wireless/wireless-basics/30664-5-ways-to-fix-slow-80211n-speed

Swear to god I just figured this channel thing out too. I downloaded wifi analyzer and it said zero stars on channel 11 (which was what my router was broadcasting), and 6 stars for channel 1. So I switched, and its much better.

[Q] Moved 30 miles away, router from that home still thinks its there?!!?

I've got a screwy situation I'm desperately seeking a resolution to... simply put, we moved, and since then my Galaxy S2 (AT&T) pulls location from wifi when connected to it, everything within the phone keeps showing up that we're still back home, 30 miles away in a different state! But simply turn wifi off and then use 3G for location, and from the same spot in the new house, everything begins to work normally...
Now here's the twist - only on certain roms does this happen. Right now, I'm running MIUI 2.3.7, build MIUI-203090. Right now, on THIS rom, everything is working as it should... wifi is on, phone connected, showing all the correct information for the correct area... by changing roms, with all the same settings selected, the phone begins showing up back in the former location, and I begin to boil. I've reset the router back to factory defaults, and the same problem exists... I'm convinced it's a router issue.... I have an HTC Inspire that I had until 2 weeks ago when I made the upgrade... I broke it out and used it to test... and I can confirm that, on certain roms, even with a totally different phone, the SAME problem results because its connecting wirelessly to the same router....
Any ideas??

I assume that you are using the same router as previously?.. A router does not necessarily re-ping its location on a regular basis and so you may very well need to update your location in the skyhook database..

Never heard of this before - will try it...

If you have Google location checked it may be using the known location when it was first detected.
Change your router wifi name. Then it may not know anything except through GPS.

I tried the skyhook option, but it's not real clear - either it could take affect or could take up to 7 days - ?!??
The router's wifi name has been changed - and even went as far as to restore it back to factory defaults... STILL the same result... I'm absolutely confused.

this issue is not uncommon.. eg. my mobile hotspot shows me at home no matter where i am in the USA... a router is part of infrastructure and so is a fixed location... if not then the skyhook database would not even be required.
For any changes to take affect you will need to power cycle the router... and yes, a free service may take time to resolve itself.
you're welcome
p.s. nowhere anywhere on the web is a router referred to by name.. it has a unique mac address..it is this address that is tied to your location so change all you want.. but until the db is updated you will live 30 miles away

"until the db is updated?" - I'm sorry, can you be more specific?
I have a Belkin n450+ router... how would I accomplish this?

I had been powered off all during the move, well over 24 hours - I'm confused about how to go about "clearing the db" -

if you have reported the location change to the skyhook server, you will have to wait for them to update their database (db..sorry)..
You have tried a reset, the only other suggestion other than to wait is to restore the factory firmware to factory settings.. you may need to update firmware after this and will need to reset and configure your network, but its an idea..

Just did a search for this problem and found this thread. Is this still the best solution?

Google uses many methods for its location, WiFi, GPS and Cell towers.
Remember that Google Street View car that travels around. It also tracks location and if it sees a WiFi signal it records the broadcasted name and location. If you use a Google service, phone or PC Google tracks the WiFi access point name. If it has a record of that name if knows your location. Otherwise it only knows your IP address is within a certain area of a city.
So, Google knows your WiFi routers name is at a particular address/location, then you move. Google doesn't know you moved so it continues thinking you're at your old address.
Changing the Routers WiFi name and a new IP address forces Google to relocate you by using GPS and other WiFi Hotspots it sees near you on your phone. It will then associate your new WiFi router name with your new location.
Basically but more complex than that.

Wifi disconnected periodically

Hi guys this is my first post in HOX forum, I just got mine 1 week ago.
So the main problem I have so far is that my HOX gets disconnected from wifi at home periodically. It just suddenly drops and then reconnects by itself. Does anyone experience the same? If not I'm considering exchange a new one.
Thanks guys!

I do.. but my router's a POS without an external antennae. so I can't give good answer on that.

Mine does, frequently. I've seen posts regarding the problem, and maybe even a fix. But it doesn't bother me enough to risk breaking something else in the process.

I upgraded to the beastmode kernel and this started happening to me too.
Running the normal CleanROM 4.5 Rom fixed the problem for me.
Last night I took a logcat of when this disconnect happens... But I dont really know how to debug it.

I have the same issue, with an additional problem. When WiFi disconnects I lose mobile data too. Toggling airplane mode brings back mobile data. WiFi may or may not connect for a little bit afterwards.

Why don't you all post up what bands your running on and what you have set on your router. We can map it out a little better

Good idea 18th.abn. I'll start.
With BeastMode Kernel v3 I have this problem. However I don't have the problem with the stock CleanROM 4.5 kernel. I will test CleanROM V with CleanKernel tonight and see if the problem is still there.
I did get a logcat while the disconnect happened... I took a couple and will have to remember which one was which... I don't really know how to read a logcat file though. Anyone good with linux? Does that help at all?
Problem happens with 2 separate routers. I'm a BAMF so I have 2 routers on my home network, 1 to service each band, and only that band.
Router 1:
Name: Linksys WRT320N
Firmware: DD-WRT v24-sp2 (04/16/10) mega
(SVN revision 14289)
Band: 5Ghz N-only, 40Mhz channel width, control channel lower, wireless channel auto.
Security: WPA2-PSK (Personal), AES
Router 2:
Name: Netgear WGR614v10
Firmware: Stock
Band: 2.4Ghz G-only, channel 11, "up to 54mbps mode"
Security: WPA2-PSK, AES
EDIT: added logcats.
Okay, so I suck at this and have forgotten which one is which. I believe it was my latest one that shows the disconnect (logcat 3). I can make another soon enough.
Logcat1
Logcat2
Logcat2

Do you have the same issue on both routers?
In logcat3, it looks like it connects for just a little bit, then once disconnected, it attempts but can't get fully connected again....it was a quick glance but is that the case?

I believe your issue is right here...could be wrong but
W/wpa_supplicant( 7594): [EAP-MSG] EAP [email protected]: eap_methods not available
I/wpa_supplicant( 7594): [SeamLess] This is already connected so rejected to 00:23:69:eb:98:6a
I/wpa_supplicant( 7594): [SeamLess] flag_disconnect is reset i.e., Seamless is give it up
Here is the why its not working, its looking for sim authentification-
To run an EAP-SIM/AKA authentication you will need a client as wpa_supplicant which has access to a (U)SIM. The WLAN access point on the network has to support EAP (which is often transcribed as WPA(2)-RADIUS or WPA(2)-ENTERPRISE). The WLAN AP has to have access to a RADIUS server who handles the authentication and session key generation. The RADIUS server in a productive environment needs for EAP-SIM/AKA access to the home location register (HLR) of the MNO where the (U)SIMs are registered. For testing a file with precreated values for authentication is sufficient.
I think your security is possibly on Wpa2-EAP, Which would explain the eap-sim call, and I doubt you have a RADIUS server giving out session keys to authenticate....double check your security settings

To add. Here's a good little write up in optimum router settings with your wireless n. I see a few things in your setup that could be killing or seriously slowing your wireless connections...
http://www.smallnetbuilder.com/wireless/wireless-basics/30664-5-ways-to-fix-slow-80211n-speed
I would DEF. drop to 20mhz from 40mhz, that alone might fix your problem. I had big problems with tabs and phones connecting at 40mhz. 20 should help a lot and don't select auto, keep at 20.
Wireless channel, u have set on lower channels, lower channels are usually busier, there's an app, wifi analyzer, it will show you the least busy channels and then choose A channel, don't let it bounce around and choose for you.
Dd-wrt has an infinite amount of twee king/tuning options, as you already know but is extremely easy to make a great connection a worthless one all the same...
Try just switching to 20mhz and nothing else at first......it just might be the root issue for you also

Thanks, I'll try that out and report back.

My problem is that WiFi was fine for a while, then would disconnect, and then reconnect a second or two later. However, I did take a look at that guide you posted (I really like smallnetbuilder) and made some changes to my setup that they (and you) suggested. I'm still in the process of testing it.

My security was (and still is) set as WPA2 Personal with "AES" as the WPA algorithm. This is correct for my home network, is it not? At least that's what I set in the "wireless security" tab of dd-wrt under wireless. I see that there is something under "advanced settings" called "authentication type" which has a radio button for "auto" and "shared key". Right now it's on auto. Think I should change it to "shared key"?
"Authentication Type:
You may choose from Auto or Shared Key. Shared key authentication is more secure, but all devices on your network must also support Shared Key authentication."

I just made some changes based on the guide you posted. I also made sure to drop the channel width down to 20mhz (I didn't know that made so much of an impact. Kudos for that piece of advice. I chose to use channel 36, 5.180Ghz, based on my testing with wifi analyzer. No one else in the neighborhood has a 5Ghz router (Apparently).
I'll see what tonight's testing yields.

Awesome, hope it helps! As far as the disconnecting, catalog shows it searching for aes-sim authentification and I don't know why. Its connected, then disconnects because already connected....*LIGHT BULB* Make sure WiFi settings on device is set to 5ghz and not auto.....that may be why its giving a already connected in catlog

Are you saying the WiFi settings on my phone? I won't be able to set it to 5ghz only as I connect to various 2.4ghz networks throughout the day.
I haven't seen the error again yet *knock on wood*
Maybe you fixed it.

Awesome, I bet it was the 40mhz that was doing it glad u got it!

I spoke too soon. I was browsing XDA on my phone, clicked a new page and it disconnected for a second and reconnected immediately.
New logcat. I saved this one only a few seconds after it reconnected. It should say something about WiFi at the very bottom of the logcat file. Do these things even help you guys?

You're solving an issue that doesn't really pertain to the original bug. If anything, start a new thread in general here, but don't bring back this thread because of its lack of relevance.
The issue deals with the WiFi on 4.2.2 (not kitkat) dropping out and coming back in. It's an issue that's based on the kernel we had. Your solution is based on timing out. It's not the same bug.
And just for the record, I'm a user. Just like you are. So what would my job exactly be? Yes, I just started to develop too, but don't accuse me of not caring about helping others. I've been helping out for a long while now. I don't believe we really have "jobs" on this forum because none of us are obligated do anything. It's a bunch of people following etiquette and helping each other.
