Upgrade Smart Network Switch with Intelligent Cost-Aware Capabilities
Want faster, more reliable internet on your Android phone without burning through mobile data? Instead of letting your phone flip between Wi-Fi and cellular, use both at the same time.
Speedify is an app that combines two or more internet connections at once – such as Wi-Fi and 4G/5G cellular – so you get faster uploads and downloads and stay online if one connection drops out. It is a smarter alternative to Samsung’s Smart Network Switch.
With Speedify, your internet stays on when one connection fails.
When one of your connections drops, Speedify automatically routes your traffic to your remaining connections — so calls don't cut out and downloads don't stall.
How do I use WiFi and 4G/5G cellular at the same time with Speedify?
Pick your two internet connections and your device below and we'll take you to the step-by-step setup guide.
What Is Smart Network Switch and How Does It Work?
The Smart Network Switch / Adaptive Wi-Fi connects to a WiFi network and a cell network at the same time. But, instead of bonding them into a single channel, it simply sends traffic on whichever connection is faster at the moment. This means you can look at your Android smartphone screen and see that you are connected to a WiFi network, but you will have no idea if you are really using cell data or the WiFi connection at that moment.
Why Smart Network Switch Uses Too Much Mobile Data
The Smart Network Switch / Adaptive Wi-Fi feature isn’t smart enough. It only focuses on giving you a working Internet connection at any given moment. It does not take into considerations your data caps, how data intensive your current Internet use is, or any other factors. You also have little control over Smart Network Switch settings.
This means that you end up using a lot more mobile data than is necessary to deliver the same Internet experience. If there is a heavy load on the WiFi you could be using your cellular data for 100% of the time you thought you were on WiFi. And this may translate in overcharges on your next services bill.
How to Disable Samsung’s Smart Network Switch
Disabling Smart Network Switch / Adaptive Wi-Fi can be done directly from your device. Here are the steps:
- Open the Settings menu and go to Connections.
- Select WiFi.
- Tap on the Advanced link at he top right corner of the screen
- Make sure the toggle next to Smart Network Switch / Adaptive Wi-Fi is set to off.
Use Speedify to Manage Connectivity and Data on Your Smartphone Instead of Smart Network Switch
The idea behind Smart Network Switch / Adaptive Wi-Fi is a good one. It is nice to not have your Internet connection interrupted just because of a brief WiFi issue. But, the Smart Network Switch just isn’t smart enough. What you need is the Speedify app.
Speedify fast bonding VPN can be downloaded on Android and iOS devices. It works in the background of your phone constantly monitoring the quality of your connections. It uses channel bonding technology to create a unified connection with your cell signal and your WiFi. But, you can tell Speedify to prioritize WiFi. Speedify will then use WiFi as much as possible, keeping your data costs low. It will only use data as a bridge or backup to keep you connected when WiFi fails or you are changing WiFi networks. When a WiFi network does fail, Speedify automatically reconnects as soon as it is back online.
