About ForceWifi5
Struggeling with too many devices around you using the 2.4 GHz Wifi? This app tries to force your device to the less used 5 GHz band.
Depending on the Android version, you will probably have to switch off and re-activate your Wifi.
Please give a try whether this app works on your device. Any feedback is welcome by email.
Necessary permissions:
* LOCATION: Google enforces the location permissions in order to get access to all Wifis around you. Without, the app won't work (unfortunately)
* WIFI/NETWORK: Of course the app needs access to your wifi interface
* BACKGROUND SERVICES/NOTIFICATIONS: to keep the app running
* ADMOB/INTERNET: for Google Ads (can be deactivated)

Great app! It seems to work fine on my galaxy note 20 ultra. Think it'd do well if you even charged for it. Anyway this might be made available for Firestick, Tivo 4kstreamer and other streaming devices? Thanks for the work you did with this app!
