Description

From the listing uploaded by “modsanyone”.

HINT Control is a cross-platform and open source app for viewing advanced information about your Home Internet gateway and controlling hidden settings. Currently, the Arcadyan KVD21, Arcadyan TMOG4AR, Sagemcom Fast 5688W, Sercomm TMOG4SE, and Nokia 5G21 gateways are supported. The Askey TM-RTL0102 can't be controlled with this app. NOTE: Don't disable the 2.4GHz and 5GHz radios in the "Wi-Fi" section unless you have a wired connection to your gateway. These will disable the Wi-Fi and prevent you connecting to the gateway wirelessly. Check out the source code and releases for other platforms: https://github.com/zacharee/ArcadyanKVD21Control/.

HINT Control 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 HINT Control 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 ebb587bff71d29dad3a64a5dd8f2ca14.
