WiEx

We have built an android app to essentially solve the problem of poor WiFI strength, we can use the android phone and the wifi direct technology in it to extend the Wifi.

The problem WiEx solves

Imagine a hostel room at the corner and it gets less WiFi signal strength, we can use our android app, in proximimty to the WiFi router and extend the range hence solving the problem of less WiFi strength

Challenges we ran into

We struggled a lot with implementing effective congestion control strategy, and making the threads work in the correct order.
And also extracting useful information from the packets.
And we had to make the app accept connections from multiple devices, this took up some time.
