Failoverly keeps online calls, webinars, streams, game and working sessions connected through outages and sudden slowdowns — even when Wi-Fi says "connected". It automatically switches to your smartphone’s mobile data and back to your primary provider.

Your smartphone is your automatic internet backup

Work calls & online coaching

The call freezes. Your reputation shouldn’t.

Dropped calls on Zoom, Microsoft Teams, or Google Meet leave everyone waiting. Keep colleagues engaged and give paying clients the time they booked.

Webinars & live streaming

Hold their attention to the last frame.

An unstable connection can cause bitrate drops and dropped frames in your OBS stream on Twitch. Keep your audience with you through your sign-off.

Online gaming

Don’t leave your team a player down.

Lag spikes and disconnects hit hardest mid-match. Stay in the game, make the next play, and be there when your teammates need you.

Developers & DevOps

Your SSH session outlives the outage.

A dropped connection and a “broken pipe” error mid-deploy can mean costly recovery. Keep configuring, deploying, and troubleshooting without reconnecting.

Traders

The price moves. You’re ready.

Connection delays shouldn’t decide your next move. Stay connected to your trading platform to react when prices change, adjust positions, and manage risk.

How automatic internet failover works

  1. Set up USB tethering on your smartphone.

    Connect your smartphone to your computer via USB and enable tethering. Keep using your usual internet connection until backup is needed.

  2. Let the Failoverly app watch your connection.

    The app monitors latency and packet loss in the background. It can switch to your smartphone’s mobile data during outages or sudden slowdowns, even while Wi-Fi stays connected.

  3. Keep your session going.

    An encrypted VPN tunnel through Failoverly’s servers keeps your online sessions connected as traffic moves to your smartphone’s mobile data connection.

  4. Switch back. Save cellular data.

    When your main connection recovers, Failoverly automatically switches back to save cellular data and help avoid unnecessary mobile data charges.

A computer stays connected through a smartphone backup when the primary router connection fails.

If your internet is rock-solid, you don’t need Failoverly.

Failoverly app is for flaky Wi-Fi at home, unreliable hotel Wi-Fi while traveling, or congested public Wi-Fi in cafés and coworking spaces. A backup internet connection helps remote workers and digital nomads stay connected when it matters.

FAQ

What is Failoverly?

Failoverly is an automatic internet failover app. If your internet keeps disconnecting or has sudden slowdowns, it automatically switches your computer to your smartphone’s mobile data over USB — even while Wi-Fi stays connected. Your online sessions stay connected, so you don’t need to log in again just because the connection changed.

Failoverly is currently in prelaunch; join the waitlist to hear when it’s available.

What if my Wi-Fi keeps dropping during video calls?

Failoverly provides automatic Wi-Fi failover through your smartphone over USB when your internet keeps cutting out. It keeps your calls connected using the backup connection; it doesn’t repair your Wi-Fi or your internet provider’s connection.

What do I need to use Failoverly?

You need a computer, your usual internet connection, and a smartphone connected over USB with USB tethering enabled. Cellular coverage and a data plan that supports tethering are required. Keep the USB cable connected while you want backup protection.

Your primary connection can be any internet connection your computer uses, including Wi-Fi or Ethernet. Wireless tethering isn’t supported as a backup connection.

Will my call or session disconnect when it switches?

Failoverly is designed to keep your call or session connected during the switch. A brief pause is possible; your smartphone needs working cellular service.

It can also switch during sudden slowdowns while Wi-Fi remains connected. Failoverly doesn’t speed up your internet connection or guarantee lower ping. It can’t resolve problems with the online service itself or keep you online if both connections fail.

How much cellular data will Failoverly use?

A one-to-one 720p Zoom call can use roughly 180 MB of video data in 10 minutes — about 1 GB per hour. Estimate based on Zoom’s published peak rates; actual total data usage varies.

Failoverly automatically switches back when your main connection recovers to help save cellular data. Check your data plan’s hotspot allowance and any extra charges with your carrier.

How is Failoverly different from channel bonding?

Channel bonding apps such as Speedify use multiple internet connections at once to combine bandwidth.

Failoverly focuses on keeping sessions connected. It moves traffic to the backup connection when your main connection drops or becomes unreliable, then switches back when it recovers. It does not add the two connections’ speeds together.

How does Failoverly keep sessions connected, and is my connection secure?

Your traffic passes through an encrypted VPN tunnel to servers we operate. Those servers maintain the connection to your online services while your computer changes networks, so the session stays connected.

The tunnel adds encryption between your computer and our servers, including on public Wi-Fi. Connections from our servers to online services use those services’ own security, such as HTTPS.

Why does Failoverly require a subscription?

Your subscription covers the ongoing cost of Failoverly’s VPN servers. They maintain a consistent connection to your online services while your computer switches between your primary internet connection and your smartphone’s mobile data. This helps your calls, streams, and other online sessions stay connected, with automatic internet failover and encrypted VPN protection built in.
