Powered by Speedify: Build a Speedify Router with the Speedify SDK

What Is Powered by Speedify?

Powered by Speedify offers a complete set of networking tools built to improve the speed, stability and security of any internet-connected product. Speedify started as a consumer app for Windows, macOS, Linux, iOS and Android. Now vendors can embed it into their routers and network appliances, as well as IoT and smart devices.

Powered by Speedify provides embedded solutions for the next generation of networking devices. It uses the Speedify technology to deliver faster and more reliable internet for enabled appliances and smart devices. A Speedify router keeps devices online when one internet connection drops only when it has two or more connections; with a single connection it works as an encrypted VPN and cannot stop that connection from dropping.

With Speedify, your internet stays on when one connection fails.

How Powered by Speedify Helps Provide Better Connectivity

Imagine a typical home or office setup, with a router connected to an ISP over fiber optic, cable, DSL, or satellite, which broadcasts a Wi-Fi network. All devices (smartphones, computers, TVs, game consoles, etc.) use the Internet via that Wi-Fi hotspot. In parallel, mobile phones also have their own cellular connections.

When a router loses its primary internet connection, the Wi-Fi network is still there, but no device on it can reach the internet. Smartphones notice that the Wi-Fi has no internet access and switch to 4G/5G cellular; laptops, TVs and game consoles stay offline.

Speedify’s cellular sharing feature lets devices running Speedify use each other’s internet connections as long as they are on the same Wi-Fi network. In this example, the 4G/5G cellular from the mobile phones can be shared between them, along with the Linux, Mac, and Windows based computers, smart TVs, set top boxes, and other devices running Speedify. This includes the Powered by Speedify router, which allows all devices connected to it to reach the internet over the phones’ cellular connections.

When the primary Internet connection is restored, the Powered by Speedify router will automatically combine all available connections, including the primary ISP, the 4G/5G cellular from the Speedify phones and any additional available connections. This makes the internet faster, more reliable and more secure for all devices.

If the Powered by Speedify router supports multiple built-in WAN interfaces (Multi-WAN), such as wired Ethernet, cellular, a USB dongle or a tethered mobile phone, Speedify will be able to use all available connections and have the option to configure their priority and behavior.

Powered by Speedify Implementation Example

A recent implementation of “Powered by Speedify” was done by Miri Technologies, who launched the Miri X510 bonding router. It integrates Speedify’s technology for combining internet connections to deliver fast, resilient, secure connectivity.

Speedify also runs on routers you may already own: OpenWrt 23.05 or later, and GL.iNet firmware on listed models, with a Speedify Router License that includes a free Individual account for up to 5 other devices.

The X510 can combine up to 7 connections at once (wired, Wi-Fi, 5G and LTE), plus 4G/5G cellular from phones running Speedify through cellular sharing. It is also battery-powered, so it can be used even where no power outlets are available.

As of October 2024, other Powered by Speedify partners include MVD (Mobile Video Devices) and Magewell.

Why Consider Powered by Speedify

Any vendor whose product has a networking component is judged on the internet quality its users get. Powered by Speedify builds fast, reliable and secure internet into the product itself.

Using just one Internet source is often not enough to get a reliable connection. With Speedify, leverage any type and number of Internet sources, wired or wireless, to provide the best Internet experience for all devices and/or services.

Speedify is very versatile and customizable to serve a variety of unique use cases. Whether there is a need to prioritize streaming traffic, create specific QoS rules, handle port forwarding through the VPN tunnel or bypass specific apps from that secure tunnel, Speedify has it all covered.
