Description

From the listing uploaded by “appupdater”.

AOSS lets you easily connect your Android device to your AirStation with secure Wi-Fi. This app easily and securely connects your Android device to a Buffalo AirStation wireless router using Wi-Fi. Follow the instructions and press the AOSS button on the AirStation. All security (encryption) settings are configured automatically. Note: If your Android device has Wi-Fi calling (some carrier models such as T-Mobile, Orange UK, etc.), turn it off during AOSS setup. Android 6.0 or later requires permission to access location services. Follow the instructions for the setting. This app does not collect location data. If a device running Android 6.0 or later displays the NO_PACKET_SEQ error, disable the device's mobile data and try again. Enable mobile data after the device successfully connects to the AirStation. Troubleshooting: If an error occurs, try the actions below. - Restart the Android device. - Restart the AirStation. - Exit all other running applications. - Move the device closer to the AirStation and try the setup procedure again. - Change the wireless channel of the AirStation. - If your AirStation is dual-band [2.4 GHz (11g) and 5 GHz (11a)], switch to 2.4 GHz (11g). - If other apps that control the Wi-Fi connection are installed, try exiting or uninstalling them. Examples: Wi-Fi Manager app, Wi-Fi Calling app, etc. - If other Wi-Fi network settings are already stored, delete any unnecessary settings.

AOSS APK: questions and answers

Can I install this APK over the version I already have?

Only if it is signed with the same certificate as the copy on your phone and isn't an older version. If Android says “App not installed”, the certificates differ; uninstalling your copy first works but deletes its data unless it is backed up.

Is the AOSS APK safe?

No one can promise that a file is safe, but some things can be checked. The source store rates this file Trusted. After downloading, check that the file's MD5 is 33158a14f676d38ca8446eb898b4e1e4.
