SpeedFusion Sub-Tunnels & Layer-2 Bridging

Run up to five sub-tunnels per link with different profiles, and bridge Layer-2 VLANs across sites over SpeedFusion.

New in Firmware 8.6 (July 2026)

  • SpeedFusion Boost is now a mainline capability — pair it with WAN Smoothing/FEC per sub-tunnel for lossy, high-latency links like bonded Starlink.

Everything in 8.6, categorized →

A single SpeedFusion link can carry multiple sub-tunnels, each with its own behavior.

Link settings — up to five sub-tunnels per link, each with its own profile (bonding, smoothing, FEC, hot failover).
Link settings — up to five sub-tunnels per link, each with its own profile (bonding, smoothing, FEC, hot failover).

Under link settings you can create up to five sub-tunnels (plus the primary), each configured independently — one bonding, one WAN-smoothing, one FEC, one hot-failover — and then steer different traffic to each with outbound policy.

Layer-2 bridging

Layer-2 bridging — extend a VLAN across sites so remote clients share one subnet and gateway.
Layer-2 bridging — extend a VLAN across sites so remote clients share one subnet and gateway.

Layer-2 bridging extends a VLAN across the tunnel so two sites share one subnet (e.g. both on 192.168.45.0/24, gateway .1 at the hub). You can even run multiple Layer-2 sub-tunnels to span different VLANs (VLAN 40 on one, VLAN 50 on another) alongside a bonding tunnel.
