How to Find and Use Wi-Fi, 4G/5G Cellular, Ethernet, Starlink and Other Connections at Once Anywhere

Better Internet, Anywhere & Anytime!

With just a single connection Speedify can help improve packet loss and allow you to access region locked content. However, to get the full benefits of Speedify you need access to multiple Internet connections. On mobile this is easy since smartphones have their own built in cellular data connections that can be bonded with Wi-Fi.

Things are more complicated with computers, both due to differences in hardware and, most of all, the availability of different kinds of Internet connections. If we're talking about laptops, all of them have internal Wi-Fi adapters. And some of them have internal Ethernet and/or cellular adapters. With desktop computers, you usually get the built-in Ethernet adapter and sometimes a Wi-Fi adapter.

The important thing is to realize that it's almost impossible you don't have access to at least 2 Internet sources. That's why we aggregated this information into a handy guide on the most common Internet connections that you can find depending on where you are.

Use Speedify to increase your bandwidth: Combine internet connection sources like WiFi, 4G, 5G, & Starlink together

Combine multiple internet connections to fix slow Internet

Speedify is the only app that seamlessly combines all of your connections, including WiFi, 4G, 5G, Ethernet, and Starlink, into one stronger connection to keep you online and secure.

In most cases, Speedify will automatically detect and start using any available Internet connections on your device while intelligently distributing your online traffic between them for optimal performance. If you need help we have quick start guides available for most common set ups.

Combine personal hotspots for better bandwidth and signal strength

Speedify's Pair & Share is a feature that enables you to connect to multiple hotspots at the same time and wirelessly share LTE, 4G, and 5G cellular connections back and forth between multiple Speedify users on the same local network to create a faster, more reliable connection for everyone.

For the first time, it's possible to share cellular data between multiple devices, including PCs, Macs, iPhones and Androids. Use multiple phones as hotspots for internet access and get increased bandwidth and mobile failover for all paired devices.
