Speedify Support for Routers and Network Switches

This article explains how you can use Speedify on router devices to share a bonded internet connection across your network. Speedify supports two main approaches: certain Linux-based devices and Windows computers running Connectify Hotspot.

Linux

Speedify on Linux supports Ubuntu and Raspberry Pi OS on both ARM and AMD/Intel processors, giving you a range of devices that can act as a router for your network. Note that Speedify does not currently support DD-WRT or MIPS processors, so not all Linux devices are compatible.

Two approaches that work well:

1. Use a PC or server-class Intel or AMD device running Ubuntu as your router.
2. Use a Raspberry Pi, Odroid, or similar SBC (single-board computer) as an inline bonding device. Connect your internet connections to the device, then use the Linux sharing options to share the connection via Ethernet to the WAN port on your main router.

OpenWrt and GLiNet

As of Speedify 14.9.1, Speedify supports OpenWrt, the open-source Linux-based operating system. Speedify on OpenWrt currently supports x86_64 (Intel or AMD) or aarch64 (Cortex A53 or A72) architectures. This covers popular devices such as the Banana Pi and the Raspberry Pi.

Windows

On Windows, you can share your Speedify connection using Connectify Hotspot. Connectify Hotspot is a virtual router application for your Windows PC or laptop that lets you turn your computer into a Wi-Fi hotspot or a wired router.

With Connectify Hotspot, you can share your bonded internet connection over Wi-Fi or wired Ethernet to any computer, mobile device, gaming console, or other device. You can also share over Ethernet to the WAN port of an existing router to manage the rest of your network from there.
