Can I Make my Hotel Internet Faster with Speedify?

Hotel and airport Wi-Fi networks are often slow, congested, and unsecured. This article explains how Speedify can help you get faster upload and download speeds, better privacy, and a more reliable connection while traveling.

What Speedify Does for Hotel Wi-Fi

Security and Privacy

When you connect through Speedify, all data between your device and the internet is encrypted. This prevents the hotel Wi-Fi network operator from monitoring which websites you visit or injecting ads into your browsing sessions - something that's a real risk on public Wi-Fi networks.

Faster Upload and Download Speeds Through Error Correction

Hotel and airport Wi-Fi networks are often overcrowded, low-bandwidth, and spotty. Speedify's error correction and packet recovery technology can significantly improve performance on networks like this, improving performance compared to using the hotel Wi-Fi network on its own.

Combining Connections for More Speed and Reliability

If you have access to more than one Internet connection, Speedify can combine them for faster upload and download speeds and reliability. For example, you can bond your hotel Wi-Fi network with a tethered smartphone to get the benefit of both connections at once. This is especially useful when hotel Wi-Fi is slow or keeps dropping out.

How to Add Your Smartphone's Cellular Connection

The most common setup for travelers is combining hotel Wi-Fi with your smartphone's cellular data connection. There are a few different ways you can do this:

• USB tethering - connect your phone to your laptop with a USB cable.
• Wi-Fi hotspot - enable your phone's personal hotspot and connect your laptop to it as a second Wi-Fi network.

Once both connections are active on your device, Speedify will automatically detect and combine them.

Sharing a Cellular Connection with Pair & Share

If tethering isn't an option, Speedify's Pair & Share feature lets multiple Speedify users on the same local Wi-Fi network wirelessly share cellular connections with each other.

To use Pair & Share, enable it in the Speedify app settings. Speedify will automatically discover other Speedify users on the local network and offer to share cellular connections. You control which connections to accept and share.
