Get Faster and More Reliable Internet: Combine 2 Ethernet Connections
Setting up your Mac or PC to use two or more Ethernet connections at the same time is a very simple task. In fact, any computer running Windows 7, 8 or 10 or macOS 10.10+ can connect to any combination of available Internet connections. In most cases, setting up multiple Internet connections on your computer doesn’t even require any extra hardware.
See below how you can quickly and easily combine 2 Ethernet connections to get fast and secure Internet with Speedify.
Quick answer
Should you have a backup 4G, 5G, Starlink, or cable internet connection?
Yes — every internet connection goes down, including Starlink, which drops for ~34 minutes a day on average. A backup connection from a different provider means one outage never takes you fully offline. The most common options are a 4G/5G cellular hotspot, a cable or DSL line, or a second satellite dish.
4G/5G cellular
Works anywhere. Just a SIM or hotspot — no installation needed.

Best for fixed locations. Different network, so outages rarely overlap.

Adds redundancy and throughput for remote sites or heavy usage.

Combine 2 Ethernet Connections – What You Need
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. 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.
Do you have 2 different Internet links from your ISP(s)? See below how you can get more bandwidth than what you’re paying for and also protect your online traffic from cyber threats by combining 2 Ethernet connections.
Step 1: Connect Your First Ethernet Cable
Step 2: Connect Your Second Ethernet Cable
