Pick your two internet connections and your device below and we'll take you to the step-by-step setup guide.
What You Need to Combine 2 Ethernet Connections
If you’re trying to connect multiple Internet connections for faster speeds, note that your various connections must come from different Internet sources. In the case of 2 Ethernet (wired) connections, you may have 2 DSL lines, 2 Cable lines, 2 Satellite lines or any combination of the above from one or two Internet service providers. With two lines from one provider such as Frontier, see how to combine two Frontier connections. You cannot just connect 2 Ethernet cables from the same router device to your computer for increased bandwidth using link aggregation applications like Speedify, because they both share the same upstream network.
If you have 2 separate internet lines, the steps below show how to combine 2 Ethernet connections with Speedify for more bandwidth, and how Speedify encrypts your online traffic.
Step 1: Connect Your First Ethernet Cable
Find your PC or Mac’s Ethernet port and connect the first Ethernet cable. If your computer doesn’t have a built-in Ethernet port, you can use a USB-to-Ethernet adapter.
Step 2: Connect Your Second Ethernet Cable
Since most computers do not have multiple Ethernet ports, you will have to use a USB-to-Ethernet adapter to connect your second Ethernet connection. Make sure the second Ethernet cable comes from a separate internet line (its own modem or router on a different service), not from the same router as the first one.
Step 3: Combine 2 Ethernet Connections with Speedify
Now that both Ethernet connections are plugged into your computer, you need to combine them for faster and more reliable Internet. Speedify is built for combining internet connections: it uses both lines at once as one fast, secure super-connection, and encrypts your traffic like a fast VPN service so it stays hidden from snooping ISPs and from attackers on public networks.
To get started, install the software on your computer. Speedify detects both Ethernet connections automatically and uses them together for their combined speed and reliability. Running Ubuntu? Here is how to combine 2 Ethernet connections on Ubuntu.
