How to Combine Wi-Fi and 4G/5G on Your Computer with Speedify

Stuck with slow Wi-Fi at a coffee shop, hotel, or home? Run Wi-Fi and 4G/5G cellular at the same time for faster upload and download speeds and a connection that stays online even if one drops out.

Speedify is an app that combines two or more internet connections at once, such as your computer’s Wi-Fi and a tethered phone’s 4G/5G cellular, and splits your traffic across both. Speedify runs on Windows and macOS.

To combine Wi-Fi and 4G/5G cellular on your computer, first add a second internet connection in one of these ways:

  1. Tether your smart phone: your phone is probably in your pocket with a 4G/5G cellular plan. Connect the phone to your computer with a USB cable and turn on Personal Hotspot (iPhone) or USB tethering (Android) to share its internet connection. HowToGeek has quick guides for iPhones and Android devices. Android USB tethering does not work on a current Mac: the HoRNDIS driver it needs stops at macOS 10.14 Mojave, and Speedify needs macOS 11.5 or later, so on a Mac, tether an iPhone instead.
  2. Connect to a mobile 4G/LTE/5G modem, or USB adapter: if you have a MiFi device or a portable 4G/5G dongle, connect it to your computer with its USB or Ethernet cable. Here is how to connect a 4G/5G dongle to a laptop.
  3. Join a second Wi-Fi network: if another Wi-Fi network is in range, add a second Wi-Fi adapter to your computer (USB versions are inexpensive) and connect to it too. On a Mac, USB Wi-Fi adapters only work on an Intel Mac running macOS 11 Big Sur (Speedify needs 11.5 or later). See the guide to joining two Wi-Fi networks at once.

Once you have two or more internet connections, download Speedify to get started. After you install and open Speedify, it combines your active connections automatically. If you tether a phone, you can set a data limit on the 4G/5G cellular connection to avoid overage fees from your mobile carrier.
