Connecting to a Wi-Fi Network from macOS

This article walks you through how to connect your Mac to a Wi-Fi network. Once your Mac is connected to Wi-Fi, Speedify can use that connection, along with any other available connections, to give you faster upload and download speeds and a more reliable internet experience.


Let's Get Started

Step 1

Click the Wi-Fi icon in the menu bar, then choose your network from the list. If Wi-Fi is off, click the Wi-Fi icon and select Turn Wi-Fi On.
