The Best Network-Boosting Apps for Android

If your network signal at home leaves something to be desired, it can make it next to impossible to use your smartphone as intended.

Short of changing providers or moving to a new area with a stronger signal, there are a number of tools you can use to boost your existing connection. Whether you’re at home or on the go, download these handy apps to keep connected, without the hassle.

You’ll be able to make the most of whatever network site is closets to you, for improved broadband and data connection speeds.

Wi-Fi Analyser

If you’re relying on Wi-fi access in a public area, you’ll definitely want to download Wi-Fi Analyser.

Fresh Network Booster

Like Network Speed Boost, Fresh Network Booster is another app that gives your signal a fresh lease on life.

The network is boosted every time you launch it, and you can arrange to do this at regular intervals or simply as needed.

Internet Booster

Another app along these lines is Internet Booster, which claims that it can do everything from speeding up your download to changing your settings to maximize speeds. Do away with buffering and boost internet speed up to a staggering 50%.

3G 4G Signal Booster

Whether you use a GSM network with Nokia Networks or another 3G or 4G network, you can use the 3G 4G Signal Booster app from easy Tools Mobile to find out your network’s hidden strengths or weaknesses. If you drop a Wi-Fi signal, it can easily be recovered.

Wi-Fi Manager

When you have several Wi-Fi networks to choose from, use the Wi-Fi Manager app to keep them all in one place. This lets you find out the information about each different connection, switching seamlessly from one to the other as they ebb in strength. Your connection speed automatically gets a boost from this management app, which also just happens to be free.
