Increase your Internet bandwidth and get lower latency
Setting up your Mac or PC to use Wi-Fi and Ethernet at the same time is a very simple task. In fact, any computer running Windows 7+ 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.
If you’re trying to connect multiple Internet connections for faster speeds, note that your various connections must come from different Internet sources. For example, Wi-Fi and Ethernet networks that are connected to the same router cannot be combined for increased bandwidth using channel bonding applications, because they both share the same upstream network.
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.
Learn more →Second Starlink
Adds redundancy and throughput for remote sites or heavy usage.

Speedify Feature · Pair & Share
Speedify Pair & Share: share cellular between your devices, both ways
Most hotspots give. Speedify's Pair & Share gives and takes. Two devices running Speedify pair up and each uses the other's cellular connection simultaneously, so you both get faster uploads, faster downloads, and a steadier connection. No extra hardware, no new data plans, no setup beyond a tap.
Learn how Speedify's Pair & Share works ›More speed
Every device you pair with adds its cellular to yours, and yours to theirs.
Stays connected
If a paired device drops out, Speedify keeps you online on the remaining links.
Always private
Every shared connection runs through AES-256 encryption. Your traffic is yours.
No new gear
Runs on devices already running Speedify, over your local network. Pair once, reconnects automatically.
Are you connected to the Internet via Ethernet and also have a different Wi-Fi connection from a public hotspot or your neighbors? See below how to increase your bandwidth and lower your latency with no extra fees to the providers.
Step 1: Connect Your Ethernet Cable
Find your PC or Mac’s ethernet port and connect the Ethernet cable. If your computer doesn’t have a built-in Ethernet port, you can use a low-cost USB-to-Ethernet adapter.
Step 2: Connect Your Computer to Wi-Fi
Just connect your Mac or PC to Wi-Fi like you normally would.
Step 3: Combine Ethernet and Wi-Fi with Speedify
Now that you have both Ethernet and Wi-Fi connected to your computer simultaneously, you might want to combine both networks for faster and more reliable Internet. This is where Speedify comes in.
Speedify is a fast VPN service for Mac, PC, iOS and Android users that combines all the Internet connections available to your computer to create a single fast super-connection. This makes a huge difference for connection sensitive apps like Twitch and YouTube.
