 If you want a better, faster, more stable internet connection, don't worry, this isn't deja vu. It is the same topic as yesterday. Then you're gonna wanna watch this video for a slight update. Hello, welcome to Take One Tech, my name's Alec. And in this video, we are talking once again about Speedify, which we did cover yesterday, and I covered it in quite some depth because it is a great app. And Speedify, what that does is it basically lets you combine all of your different internet connections and then harness the power of them all together, but also provides a failsafe so that if one of them fails, it just seamlessly switches over to the other one, which is great if you are a live streamer, if you talk on the phone, on FaceTime, if you use Zoom, Skype, or any other VoIP products, Microsoft Teams, whatever it is, or if you just don't want your, frankly, internet to go down and maybe you're in the middle of a Netflix movie, something like that. Speedify can help with that. Now, I did do a video all about this yesterday, and so I'll leave a link up into the top corner, but somebody asked me a question, and I realized I had missed out a big part of it, or rather one crucial part of it really. And so this video is essentially just to consider an extension of yesterday's video. In case you weren't aware, my channel, Take One Tech, I do all of my videos in one take. To be honest, with no real planning, I just described the apps that I'm using as if I was explaining them to a friend, and then I upload the videos, and that is it. I don't do any editing, any post-processing, or anything like that, but one of the downfalls of that is occasionally, just occasionally, you realize you've just left something out, and that is actually what happened now. So I'm gonna put that right, and I'm gonna show you what I'm gonna talk about. I'm not gonna talk about everything that Speedify does. That was covered in yesterday's video, which I've linked up in the top corner, but what I want to show you is something quite important, really, because one of the things about Speedify, what it actually does, is it does combine all of your different network connections together, so you can have multiple wifi, multiple ethernet, if you want, if you've got more than one ethernet connection, and it combines those all together to give you the maximum speed and maximum performance, and as I say, has this failsafe, and one of the ones that I mentioned was about tethering to a mobile phone. In fact, I'll just come back while I tell you this, shall I? Instead of being stuck in that little window. One of the use cases I mentioned, or one of the ways that I use it, is I do have my computer tethered to my mobile phone. Now, I should point out that I have got an unlimited data plan on my mobile phone, which can be tethered, and in Thailand here, that cost me about a thousand baht, what's that? Around about $35 a month, something like that, is my mobile plan, which gives me all my mobile, and then also, as I say, unlimited data that can be tethered to my computer. So what it means is I could actually just do everything on my computer, on that data plan, and it wouldn't cost me anymore. So you do have to be careful if you are gonna add a mobile device to your computer as a failsafe backup, because if you have got data caps, for example, then you're gonna want to be careful. If you don't have a data cap, but you just get charged by the amount of data you use, then definitely this is something to be very considerate of when you're doing it, or rather take into consideration when you are setting this all up. That's the bit that I missed out, because you can actually set all of these things up in Speedify, and so that is what I want to show you how to do today. So I think I've covered myself there, haven't I? I think I've given enough sort of disclaimers and apologies and things like that. So let's get straight into the Speedify app. You saw this probably on the video yesterday, so here is where we've got different settings and things like that. I showed you how we've got different stream saves, stream urgency saves 28, the number of seamless failovers is now 33, so where it went from one connection to another. Seamlessly, the amount of data downloaded, or transferred rather, 17 gigabytes, top download speed, top upload speed, and so on. The crucial part that I didn't show you was for each of these Wi-Fi connections, not Wi-Fi, for each of these network connections, you can click on each one, and then you've got some more things that you can do. So first of all, you can set the priority. Now, the priority is basically, as you might guess, is how Speedify is gonna prioritize your connection. If you're using Ethernet and you've got Wi-Fi as well, and maybe you've got your mobile as a second, as another option, so let's say you've got three different connections, you would want to have your Ethernet as your set, as your primary. You would then probably want to have your Wi-Fi set as your secondary. Now, both these primary and secondary, it will actually use those simultaneously, but it's just showing you which one is the main one. But you've also got this backup here as well. And that basically is, as a failsafe, it will resort to that if the others won't work. But you can also set never. So it will look at all the different connections you have on your computer, and then use all of those that you've got available for Speedify. So if maybe you do have tethering set up on your computer, but you just don't want to have it be ever used by Speedify, you can totally discount that from being used here by clicking on this never. Or you may want it as just a failsafe so you could click on the backup. And it does obviously tell you about these here as well. So this is basically primary, I always use this connection. Secondary is use this connection for speed boosts and failover, but less than the primary. So as I just mentioned, and the backup is only use this connection for a failover when no other is available and does not do bonding for speed. So it's least used. The never one is obviously don't use this connection. So that's basically as I just explained. The next thing down though is we've also got data caps. So if you do have a data limit on your phone or whatever service you are using, then you can actually set these here as well. So if you've got multiple connections and some of them do have limits, you can set either a daily data cap. You can also set a monthly data cap. And that's simply if you just come in here, monthly data cap and then just click on the little toggle and then you can set the amount that you want and when it will reset sort of every 30 days or rolling or whatever you want to set that to. So you can see obviously here you can just set the particular date of the month depending on when your billing cycle is. And then here you can change the amount of data you've got just by clicking on it like that. So that is how you say change the monthly data cap. Just gonna actually toggle that off before I forget. Cause I'm unlimited on everything, fortunately. And the next thing is the over limit behavior. So when you hit that limit, what you can do is you can actually set a either you can either stop using it. So basically when you hit that data limit it's gonna stop using or you can have a amount. So basically you're gonna change the basically throttle your network basically. So that is the way that you can do that. And again, you can do that on a case by case basis on each of your connections. The other thing you can do is, so that is on an over limit. I forgot to turn off notifications there. Sorry if you heard that little email bomb coming in. So that is basically the rate limit sort of on the over limit behavior. You can obviously just send it so that it stops using it. So if it hits your limit then it just stops using the connection altogether. You can also set a just general rate limit as well on a connection by connection basis. So that's the same thing you just toggle it on and then select the megabits per second. So that might be something where you want to have for example, if you're connected to a mobile signal you do want to put a limit in that so that even though you may have some data available you don't want it to suddenly start but burning through it at a really fast rate if you, you know, I don't know if Dropbox kicks in or something like that. So that is how you can set a specific rate on a device by device basis basically. So that is essentially what needed to be covered which was not covered in the other one because it is quite crucial really. You might want these different rates on different things and I should say as well that this works exactly the same on the mobile. So you would have seen from the video yesterday that the mobile interface actually looks pretty similar to that and I should also clarify that the mobile application and this application on the desktop are completely separate. They don't necessarily, or they don't talk to each other. So you can set up this one on your desktop and then you have the mobile one that you can set up on your mobile to optimize your connections there whether you're using your cellular data you can also obviously use your wifi connections that you have and multiple wifi connections on your phone. The other thing that you can also do is if you've got the camera connection kit on a mobile that also enables you to plug in other things and one of the things you can plug into that is an ethernet connector. So using the little dongle on the bottom of your phone or the little connector on the bottom of your phone you can actually plug an ethernet cable in. So you could in theory have a mobile device that had a ethernet cable plugged into it also had cellular data and you could also be connected to multiple wifi connections as well and that would enable you to do that all on the phone of those all running through Speedify but they are as I say separate standalone applications between this and that. You get them all as part of your Speedify subscription but it's just that to know that you can set those all up separately and you don't have to worry that if you suddenly install Speedify on your mobile then somehow that's gonna start downloading data through or your computer's gonna start downloading data through that. So I hope that that is clear as well. Well, I hope that that has cleared up any confusion. If any of you were confused, I know some of you were. So I'm sorry about it not being more clear about that and I'll try and remember to cover everything in more detail next time. So if you found this useful then don't forget to hit the like and subscribe button you know where it is by now. I don't need to put my little graphic and if you didn't catch the video yesterday by the way as I say I will have linked to that at the beginning and I'll also put a link to it in the description as well. And I'll leave some more great videos over on the right-hand side. So don't forget to check those out as well. And until the next time, have a great day.
