Speedify’s Pair & Share Cellular Sharing Feature: Connection Settings

This article explains the connection settings available for Speedify's Pair & Share feature, which lets you wirelessly share and combine LTE, 4G, and 5G cellular connections between devices on the same local network.

When you pair with a device that's sharing a connection with you, that connection shows up alongside your other connections in Speedify. You can click on that connection row to view its settings and usage statistics.
