Sharing the Speedify Connection via Wi-Fi on macOS

This article explains how to share your Speedify connection over Wi-Fi from your Mac so that other devices on your network can benefit from Speedify's channel bonding. You can do this using macOS's built-in Internet Sharing feature.

Requirements

• Speedify installed and running on your Mac
• macOS Big Sur or later (see note below for version-specific differences)
• If your Mac is connected to the internet via Wi-Fi and you want to share over Wi-Fi as well, you'll need a separate Wi-Fi to USB adapter. Note that Apple removed support for external Wi-Fi adapters in macOS Monterey and above, so this option is only available on macOS Big Sur.

Let's Get Started

The steps differ slightly depending on which version of macOS you're running. Follow the section that matches your Mac below.
