ForceWifi5 - Optimize Your Wifi Connection
ForceWifi5 is a free Android app developed by Eric Hambuch. It falls under the category of Utilities & Tools and aims to help users improve their Wifi connection. The app is specifically designed to address the common problem of too many devices using the 2.4 GHz Wifi band, which can cause slow and unreliable connections.
The app works by attempting to force your device to connect to the less crowded 5 GHz band. However, it is important to note that starting with Android 10, Google no longer allows users to enforce a change of the WiFi band, but only gives a recommendation to do so. Therefore, the app may not work on all devices, and if it doesn't, it is recommended to uninstall it.
To use the app, you will need to grant it necessary permissions, including location access to get access to all Wifis around you and wifi/network access. It is worth noting that without location permission, the app won't work. If you are using Android 12+, it is recommended to additionally deactivate the battery optimizations for this app.
Overall, if you are struggling with slow or unreliable Wifi connections, ForceWifi5 may be worth a try to see if it can help optimize your connection and improve your internet experience.
