Description
From the listing uploaded by “appupdater”.
EdiRange is a mobile companion app for Edimax smart Wi-Fi Extenders. Smart extenders help to solve Wi-Fi problems and extend wireless coverage to dead zones that your existing signal can’t reach.
EdiRange provides a convenient solution to manage your smart extender and survey your local Wi-Fi environment, with easy-to-understand analytics to help you avoid wireless interference from your neighbors and get the best performance for the wireless devices in your home.
Plus, you can manage the extender’s wireless network and functions such as its guest network feature and Wi-Fi scheduling.
A guest network could be used to keep your Wi-Fi private and secure when you have company in your home, or for children as a parental control function: separate your child’s Wi-Fi network from yours so you can switch it on or off at anytime and have complete control, as well as peace of mind that your kids aren’t online when they shouldn’t be.
And EdiRange’s “good night” mode gives you a quick shortcut to shut down the extender’s Wi-Fi, so when you go to bed you can put your extender to sleep too.
Important:
For EdiRange to function properly, you must be connected to the same LAN as your extender. If you experience problems, connect directly to your extender's SSID.

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 EdiRange APK safe?
