Project sunset after 3 years for the following reasons
- Buying and testing routers is expensive.
- Speedify officially supports OpenWrt as of Q4 2024
- GL.iNet auto build repos went private, certain patches for wlan-ap are missing.
- Wi-Fi 6 is unstable with OpenWrt official firmware for GL.iNet and most routers.
Speedify now requires a seperate subscription for routers and the pricing is very steep for me.
Update: 3 years plan with occasional discounts is now on par with family plan 🎉
The firmware should work for a good while and the Speedify installer has a URL entry that can be updated.

SmoothWAN is a custom OpenWRT router distribution for fixed internet bonding setup using Speedify, with an emphasis on using an internet browser for easy configuration on the go.
This project is not affiliated with Speedify or Connectify.
As of Q4 2024, Speedify now requires a license for routers.
Also includes Engarde and TinyFEC VPN as alternative and self-hosting solutions.
Visit the wiki for information and guides.
Supported hardware (order by performance)
- PC Intel/AMD
- Raspberry Pi 4 / Pi 400
- GL.iNet Flint
- GL.iNet Slate AX

Speedify officially supports OpenWrt as of Q4 2024
Use cases
- Run a VPN over Speedify to bypass captcha/IP-blocking on public servers or other uses.
- Cover all connected devices in a home network when it's not possible or practical to share a WAN per each device running Speedify such as IoT and security systems.
- Use Engarde as self-hosting alternative to Speedify's Redundant mode (lossless by duplicating traffic across WANs - no aggregation)
- Use TinyFEC VPN for fixing a lossy unusable internet connection using forward-error-correction at a speed cost (single WAN - self-hosting)
