Speedify Hybrid Access Software App Running Directly on Your Device
Hybrid access software combines two or more internet connections, such as home broadband and 4G/5G cellular, into one faster, steadier internet connection, so one slow connection no longer holds you back. Hybrid access used to need an expensive dedicated box.
Speedify is an app that brings hybrid access straight to a laptop, phone or router with no extra hardware. Speedify combines Wi-Fi, 4G/5G cellular, Ethernet, Starlink and satellite internet connections at the same time for faster downloads and uploads, moves your traffic to the others if one drops (failover), and encrypts your traffic like a VPN. With only one internet connection, Speedify works as an encrypted VPN and cannot make that connection faster or stop it from dropping. Here is how Speedify’s hybrid access software works.
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 Hybrid Access Does: Two or More Internet Connections Used Together
Between ISP throttling issues and the bandwidth used by music streaming, video streaming, data intensive games and video calls, one home broadband connection often can’t keep up, especially when several people share it. Hybrid access fixes that by adding a second internet connection.
Hybrid access takes two or more separate internet connections and uses them together as one faster, more stable internet connection. Any mix of connection types works at the same time. For example, combining a DSL connection with 4G/5G cellular gives you more download and upload speed than the DSL line alone.
In practice, that means fewer buffering videos and music interruptions, and when one internet connection drops, your traffic keeps flowing over the other one. A busy shared cable line in the evening slows you down less, because the second internet connection carries part of the load.
Speedify Hybrid Access Software vs a Hybrid Access Gateway Box
Hybrid access has usually meant buying expensive hardware like a hybrid access gateway. The gateway is a box that connects to both of your internet connections and does the work of combining them.
Hybrid access gateways take time to configure and cost more than most families and small businesses want to spend. The cheaper gateways accept only a few connection types, usually just DSL and 4G LTE. When a connection has a problem, you troubleshoot it yourself or pay an IT expert.
Speedify is hybrid access software for individuals and businesses. Instead of buying a hybrid access gateway, you install the Speedify app on Windows, macOS, iOS, Android or Linux. A free Speedify account includes 5 GB per month on Windows, macOS, iOS and Android (Linux needs a paid plan). Speedify checks the quality of each internet connection all the time and combines them for you: Wi-Fi, 4G/5G cellular, Ethernet, DSL, cable, Starlink and satellite.
If one internet connection goes offline, Speedify automatically reroutes all Internet activity through the remaining internet connections until the lost one comes back, without dropping calls or streams.
Hybrid Access Software for Mobile Operators, MVNOs and App Developers
For network operators and MVNOs, Speedify hybrid access software helps in two ways: moving more traffic off 4G/5G cellular and onto Wi-Fi saves money, and customers get a better internet experience.
Speedify handles combining internet connections and hybrid access on phones, laptops and desktop computers. Through the Speedify SDK, the same technology can be built into existing iOS, Android, Windows and macOS apps, where it runs in the background and improves network performance for every app on the device.
Speedify’s technology for combining internet connections is cost aware: connection priorities and data limits let you set it up for more speed or for less 4G/5G cellular usage. Speedify also encrypts traffic like a VPN, which helps keep users secure across public Wi-Fi networks.
When a phone connects to a bad Wi-Fi hotspot, the phone often stays on that hotspot instead of switching to 4G/5G cellular, and the user is stuck with no working internet. Speedify fixes this by using Wi-Fi and 4G/5G cellular at the same time, so traffic keeps moving over cellular while the hotspot is bad.
Speedify Hybrid Access Software Also Encrypts Traffic Like a VPN
Speedify works as a mobile VPN service: the encryption stays on as your device moves between Wi-Fi and 4G/5G cellular.
Speedify encrypts all of your data while combining your internet connections, so you get the protection of a VPN with less of the slowdown a single-connection VPN often causes. Speedify keeps no record of the sites you visit and does not sell your personal data.
If you want faster, more reliable and encrypted internet without buying a hybrid access gateway, install Speedify on the devices you already have and start with a free account that includes 5 GB per month.
