Wifi priority

[marios1441]

I need an app that will connect to a lot of wifi extenders by putting one extender in each room in open air
and connecting to that extender to each room, for example when i am to the first room should connect to the ssid of the extender to this room and connect to the other extender
when i'm on a other room that the second extender exists (because of better wifi reception in open air and when an android device is in the same room with the extender).

Have you tried going in to the advanced setting of your WiFi on your phone and mess around with the WiFi priory settings?

There are no advanced settings.

What device do you have? For example, when in the WiFi screen on my Moto X I have the 3 dots stacked vertically in the bottom right corner that brings up a small menu with the "Advanced" entry. On my Samsung tablet, I would use the menu button (to the left of the physical home button) for the same menu items.

I think the only way to do what you want would be to use an app like Tasker with a geofence for each area so you can specify which AP to connect to while in that area. If each AP is its own network, they'll be stumbling all over each other if they're in close proximity. If you can manage them like Cisco devices, you could turn down the power so each one only broadcasts strong enough for its own area.

I have Samsung Galaxy Ace 3 S7275R phone. When i'm on the Wifi screen and press the left button next to Home button then i can follow a screen with options that i can only enable automatic change of wifi networks only when mobile data is on and enable automatic enabling and disabling of Wifi. Is the app tasker the one in Play Store?

Tasker would be on the Play Store, yes. I have no personal experience with it but I seem to recall people setting up geofences with it. Your problem may be the proximity of your devices, they may end up being too close together to work properly due to inaccuracies in GPS.

That said, usually an "extender" just makes the broadcast area of a particular network larger. Extenders alone don't broadcast an individual SSID.
