Can I Make my Hotel Internet Faster with Speedify?

Hotel and airport Wi-Fi networks are often slow, congested, and insecure. Speedify addresses these issues by providing encryption, performance optimization, and the ability to combine multiple Internet connections for improved speed and reliability.

Benefits of Using Speedify on Hotel Wi-Fi

Enhanced Security and Privacy

When you connect to Speedify, all traffic between your device and the Internet is encrypted. This prevents the Wi-Fi network operator from monitoring which websites you visit or injecting advertisements into your browsing sessions. Hotel Wi-Fi networks are public networks where your data can be vulnerable without proper encryption.

Improved Performance Through Error Correction

Public Wi-Fi hotspots in hotels and airports often suffer from overcrowding, limited bandwidth, and weak signal coverage across large areas. Speedify's error correction and packet recovery technology can significantly improve performance in these conditions, sometimes doubling your connection speed compared to using the hotel Wi-Fi network alone.

Connection Bonding for Increased Speed

If you have access to multiple Internet connections, Speedify can combine them for greater throughput and reliability. For example, you can bond your hotel Wi-Fi network with a tethered smartphone to combine the speed and reliability of both connections. This is particularly useful when hotel Wi-Fi is unreliable or slow.

Common bonding configurations for travel include:

Hotel Wi-Fi plus tethered smartphone (via USB, Bluetooth, or Wi-Fi hotspot)
Hotel Ethernet plus tethered smartphone
Multiple Wi-Fi networks (if available) plus cellular connection

If you're unable to tether your smartphone to your laptop or tablet, Speedify's Pair & Share feature allows multiple Speedify users on the same local Wi-Fi network to wirelessly share cellular connections with each other. Each device can contribute and use up to 10 Mbps of cellular data from paired devices.

This feature is particularly useful for:

Business travelers working in hotel rooms or conference centers
Teams attending events where hotel Wi-Fi is inadequate
Family vacations where multiple devices need reliable Internet access

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

How Speedify Optimizes Hotel Wi-Fi

Speedify uses several technologies to improve your Internet connection:

Channel Bonding - Combines multiple Internet connections at the packet level, distributing traffic across all available connections for increased throughput.

Enhance Streaming Mode - Automatically detects video calls, live streams, and real-time applications. When enabled (the default setting), Speedify prioritizes these packets and can use redundancy to reduce packet loss and jitter.

Error Correction - Recovers lost packets without requiring retransmission from the source, which is especially beneficial on congested or lossy Wi-Fi networks.

Automatic Failover - If one connection drops, Speedify seamlessly shifts traffic to remaining connections without interrupting active sessions.
