I'm in a two story house with the wireless router covering the 1st floor and an extender in the master bedroom upstairs. This was done because connections often drop and speeds fluctuate too much. Would it be possible with Android or an app that will autoswitch based on some parameter (signal strength, speed...etc)? When I'm downstairs I want to be on the router and when I'm upstairs I want to be on the extender.

Quick search on Google came up with this for Tasker:

Profile 1:Context 1 - WiFi Connected (to Home WiFi)
Profile 1:Context2 - Time, repeat every X minutes (you choose this value, minimum allowed is 2 minutes)
Profile 1:Task 1 - Var Set (NAME:%WiFiInfo TO : WIFII)
Profile 1:Task 2 - Var Split (NAME:%WiFiInfo SPLITTER: Sig
Profile 1:Task 3 - Var Section (NAME: %WiFiInfo2 FROM:1 LENGTH:2 STORE:%WIFISIG)

Profile 2:Context 1 - Var Set (NAME:%WIFISIG)
Profile 2:Task 1 -IF %WIFISIG < X (you choose the signal strength you want, I chose 2)...toggle wifi within the IF statement
