We recommend assigning the task of determining the optimal channel number to the router. Usually, this is the radio channel farthest from neighbouring wireless networks, if there are any within your access point's range, to avoid frequency conflicts that can cause problems when using a wireless network. In Keenetic routers, the optimal channel number is selected automatically based on periodic radiofrequency analysis (radio air).

This requires the device's Wifi radio to be enabled.Choosing a wireless work channel is essential for a Wi-Fi network. When any profile has a Wifi Near state context, it will do regular scans for nearby APs (see Menu->Preferences->Monitor->Wifi Scan Period. You can use the variable Wifi Info to see information about nearby APs (when not connected). The period for Wifi scanning is specified in Menu->Preferences->Monitor->Wifi Scan Time. This is to help prevent the profile bouncing on and off at the edge of the signal reception area. On Android 4.3+ devices, consider enabling Scanning Always Available in Android advanced wifi settings, instead of toggling.Ī seen AP which is no longer visible for approximately two times the scan period is forgetten. Toggling cannot take place when the Wifi Tether (Hotspot) is enabled on the device. On Android 6+ this is rarely needed, unless you disabled the Scanning Always Available option in Android settings. Toggle Wifi: if Wifi on the device is disabled, enable it for the period of the scan, probably around 15 seconds. Min Activate Signal Level: the minimum signal strength to activate the context. If any of the parameters are specified, the AP must match that parameter, otherwise any AP will match. On recent Android versions wifi scanning is only available for apps with the location permission, so that's why Tasker asks for it. The device is near a Wifi Access Point (AP).
