How Do I Combine Wi-Fi and Cellular on My iPad?
Want faster upload and download speeds and more reliable internet on your iPad? Run Wi-Fi and 4G/5G mobile data at the same time.
Speedify is an app that combines two or more internet connections at once – such as Wi-Fi and mobile data – so you get faster uploads and downloads and stay online if one connection drops out.
With Speedify, your internet stays on when one connection fails.
When one of your connections drops, Speedify automatically routes your traffic to your remaining connections — so calls don't cut out and downloads don't stall.

Pick your two internet connections and your device below and we'll take you to the step-by-step setup guide.
Why Should I Combine Connections on iPad?
When iPads switch between connections, there’s a problem: this takes time, at least a few seconds.
So what can happen during those seconds, you ask? Here are some examples:
- you may lose an important idea during your video calls
- you may be required to log in again to a particular platform or work VPN you’re using, because the IP address of your device has changed with the switch. This means additional time.
- you may be booted from the online game you’re playing
- you may lose your unsaved work in the cloud
… and the list can go on.
By combining connections on your iPad, you get more reliable connectivity. Your session will be consistent – meaning that your IP will not change if Wi-Fi should fail, because you’ll still be connected to cellular data. That saves a lot of time and hassles.
Faster Internet is also a benefit when you combine connections on iPad. You can create a “super-pipe” from your Wi-Fi + cellular data connections.
This will help with bandwidth-intensive apps like live streaming, video calls, online gaming, remote learning, etc.
All of this (and more!) is possible with the Speedify channel bonding app.
How to Combine Connections on iPad
Here’s what you have to do to use both Wi-Fi and cellular data simultaneously on your iPad:
- Verify that your cellular data connection is on and working. Go to Settings > Cellular and flip he switch to on.
- Connect to Wi-Fi. Verify that your Wi-Fi is enabled on your iPad and connected to a network.
Go to Settings > Wi-Fi and flip the switch to on. You can then select a network from the list that appears. Keep in mind, private networks may require you to enter a password before connecting.
