Hello everyone,

I always felt the Hyperwifi client is the slowest of all three Hyperdrive clients, I bet you noticed that too, and by now, you should know that I like fast high-performance tech.

Although, since the inspection of Hyperdrive, I couldn't find the time to enhancing the Hyperwifi client, it requires lots of research and testing, and the main focus was to make sure all clients and services were stable.

So instead of dedicating all my time to Hyperdrive, I'd shift my focus every time I'm free to do some research and testing.

So, I'm glad to announce that I have improved the startup speed by 70% with additional under the hood enhancements.

What's in this update#

  • Hyperwifi VM now runs in memory, which makes it starts faster and protect against corruption.
  • It is 50% smaller.
  • Can deploy new Linux Kernel and security updates with little effort.
  • magic CLI version updated to 1.2
  • hyperwifi image version updated to 1.4

Check below the comparison video for the speed enhancements:

To install the new update, download the updated magic CLI tool by running the install script.

/bin/bash -c "$(curl -fsSL https://hyperdrive.anuvu.com/install.sh)"

Next, run the wifi upgrade command to install the new Hyperwifi image.

magic upgrade --wifi

Enjoy the enhancements!
