Improve Bandwidth and Latency by Combining Two Starlink Connections on Linux
This guide shows how to use two Starlink connections together on Linux for faster, steadier internet. You connect to your first Starlink over Wi-Fi and your second over a wired Ethernet adapter.
Speedify is an app that combines two or more internet connections at once – like two Starlink dishes – so you get their combined upload and download speed and stay online if one drops. Here are the three steps to set it up on Linux.
Speedify bonds your Starlink with another Starlink, 4G/5G cellular, cable, DSL and splits traffic across them. If Starlink drops mid-call or mid-transfer, Speedify fails over to your remaining connections instantly.
NOTE: For best results, use internet connections from different sources. Joining one router over both Ethernet and Wi-Fi won't help.
Multiple Starlink dishes, one faster and more reliable connection.
Speedify bonds all your Starlink dishes simultaneously — so you get the combined bandwidth of all your Starlink dishes, and stay online when any one drops.
3 Steps to Combine Two Starlink Connections on Linux Using Speedify
Step 1: Connect to Your First Starlink’s Wi-Fi Hotspot
First - make sure you setup your Starlink according to the instructions you received in the package. This includes setting up your new Starlink Wi-Fi network, along with your password.
Click on the arrow in the top right corner (also known as the System Menu) then Wi-Fi > Select Network and choose your desired network. Select the Wi-Fi hotspot associated with your Starlink connection and enter the password to connect.
Step 2: Connect Your Second Starlink via Ethernet Cable to Linux
To connect your Starlink via Ethernet to Ubuntu, use an Ethernet cable between your Starlink router and the Ethernet port on your Ubuntu computer. If your computer doesn’t have a built-in Ethernet port, try using a USB to Ethernet adapter instead. Ubuntu will start using your Ethernet connection and you should see it listed in the System Menu under “Wired Connection”.
Step 3: Download and Install Speedify
Last but certainly not least, download and install Speedify. Once running, Speedify will automatically detect your two Starlink connections and combine them for increased speed, security, and stability.
Need to keep several devices connected in areas with limited or spotty network coverage, like event venues, remote locations or when traveling? Get consistent and uninterrupted online activity for all your devices using Speedify's Pair & Share functionality, which allows you to share cellular data between multiple devices wirelessly.
By pairing devices, you can effectively distribute your cellular connection across them, improving overall performance, especially when other network options like Wi-Fi may be slow or unstable.
You can manage settings, view statistics, and even apply limits to individual connections by either clicking/tapping on them from the Dashboard or by navigating to the desired connection through the main Settings menu.
Speedify will work quietly in the background to optimize performance including prioritizing streaming web traffic to avoid stuttering, buffering and disconnects.
When using Starlink Internet, Speedify is the only VPN that makes your online experiences faster, more reliable, and more secure.
