Sharing the Speedify Connection via Ethernet on a Windows PC

This article explains how to share a Speedify-bonded internet connection with other computers on your network using a Windows PC and Connectify Hotspot MAX.

How It Works

Here's the basic setup before you begin:

• All of your internet connections plug into the Windows PC. Speedify combines them into a single, faster virtual connection.
• Connectify Hotspot takes that combined connection and shares it with the rest of your network over a dedicated Ethernet card.
• For a small network, you can connect the PC directly to other computers using an Ethernet switch.
• For a larger or more complex network, connect the Ethernet output from Connectify Hotspot MAX to the WAN port of your router.

Let's Get Started

Step 1

Install Speedify on your PC and sign in to your account. Make sure all of your internet connections are plugged in and working. You should see each connection listed in the Speedify app.

Step 2

Install Connectify Hotspot and sign in to activate your license. You will need a Connectify Hotspot PRO or MAX license.

Step 3

Make sure the Ethernet you'll use for sharing is connected to your client computer, Ethernet switch, or the WAN port of your router.

Step 4

In the Connectify Hotspot interface, configure the following settings:

• Set the mode to Wired Router
• Set Internet to Share to Speedify
• Set Share Over to the Ethernet card connected to your network

Step 5

Click Start Hotspot. Connectify Hotspot will now share your combined Speedify connection with the rest of your network.

A Few Things to Keep in Mind

This setup is straightforward, but it depends on the Bonding PC staying on and running reliably. Here are a couple of things to configure on your Windows PC to keep things running smoothly:

• Go to your Power settings and set Windows to never sleep or turn off when idle.
• Keep in mind that Windows Update may require a reboot roughly once a week, which will temporarily interrupt the shared connection.
• In Connectify Hotspot's Settings menu, check the Startup Options to have Connectify launch automatically when Windows starts.
