Two Wi-Fi Access Points @ home: Tasker + SSID Selector

[Rafa Gisbert]

Hello,

As many of you, I have 2 access points (AP) at home.

Tried different stratetegies just with Tasker to switch to the strongest signal AP without success.

Recently found SSID Selector and thought that would be the solution, but I'm stuck with it.

I'm using first profile to detect when device connects to wifi to split variable %WIFII. Later, 2 profiles try to detect signal strenght to change from SSID A to B or B to A.

The problem is that the splitted variable %WIFII11 (signal) is not refreshing when I move around house, so wifi change dont works. And when it happens, a loop between those 2 last profilles occur.

Probably there's a better way to do it, but I know my limits :)

#####WARNING: LIMITS REACHED##### :p

so if anyone of you could help, I'd appreciate it.

Trying different approach:

Profile: Wi-Fi A->B (55)
State: Wifi Near [ SSID:B MAC:* Capabilities:* Min. Activate Signal Level:9 Channel:0 Toggle Wifi:Off ]

State: Wifi Connected [ SSID:A MAC:* IP:* ]

Enter: Anon (56)
A1: SSID Selector [ Configuration:B Package:ultimatesoftware.nw.SSIDSelector Name:SSID Selector ] 

Maybe simple is better.

In the next hours an update will appear. It will come with an new option "best net" and "best net all" (including open Networks). 

This Options may make your tasker profile simple, but it will not "recheck" the network strange to save batterie life. If you want to, simple repeat the tasker 

profile in the frequency you want.
