Speedfusion: Why does it take 6 clicks across menus?

I toggle speed fusion on and off quite often.
Why is enabling such a primary feature of peplink devices so buried?

How about a SFC ENABLE check box in the top bar or on the dasbhoard?
…or for consistent UI - how about a toggle like in the Wi-Fi AP bar?

Why do you turn it on and off?

I’m firmly in the prosumer category, but I have it set up so there’s a main access point / wifi network that is unfused, then two more networks with the nearest speed fusion centers. If I want to use speed fusion I connect to one of those (the single carrier one has a higher connection priority on devices so I don’t accidentally end up on it.

I live in a remote mountain location. One of my wan connections is metered.

When I have an important 200+ attendee zoom meeting I’m hosting, I turn SF on to make sure I don’t drop.

Afterward, I turn it off so I’m not paying per gig on my metered connection.

I would recommend the wifi ssid approach, one without SF bonding applied, the other that uses SF.

Its an easy way to manage it.

The device is hardwired but I appreciate your input.

My overall advice was self serving but also an offer for a way to improve the UI from someone in the business. A premium “stand out” feature should be more accessible/adjustable.

Cheers.

I understand what you’re asking for, but disabling SFC is a brutal way to reroute traffic and relies on there being an outbound policy that fails over from SFC to a direct WAN otherwise traffic could be accidentally black holed.

But a toggle switch that sets a connectivity ‘scene’ is a nice idea. Like toggling between two configurations (then we can adapt SFC settings and outbound policies and WAN priorities at the same time).

Thanks for the suggestion.

I can see a benefit for this in the Marine industry as well…

Often, we use SFC only when guests/charter/owner is onboard so it’s toggled on/off more often than usual.

A profile for outgoing policies would be pretty neat :slight_smile:

I know you could do this via IC2, but having it locally would be really useful !
