Improve Bandwidth and Reduce Latency by Combining Starlink with a Secondary Wi-Fi Network on Windows
Combining two Internet connections may seem like rocket science, but it’s actually quite simple if you have the right channel bonding app like Speedify.
In this guide we'll show you how you can use your Starlink satellite Internet connection via Wi-Fi together with another Wi-Fi network and then use Speedify to combine them.
You can get a secondary Internet connection via the same or a different ISP. Examples include another Starlink, DSL, cable, or cellular connections. Speedify can bond your Starlink satellite connection with any number or combination of other Internet connections and will intelligently distribute your online traffic among them for optimal performance. Plus, if you get disconnected from Starlink in the middle of an important video call or file transfer, Speedify will seamlessly failover to your other working Internet connection(s) without skipping a beat.
NOTE: For best results, use Internet connections from different sources. In general, joining the same upstream network multiple times (such as the same router via Ethernet and Wi-Fi) will not improve performance.
Should you get a second Starlink?
Is Starlink giving you great download speeds but weak uploads and random dropouts? Even with 100+ Mbps Starlink download speeds, many users get stuck with under 25 Mbps uploads, unstable connection issues.
A powerful way to upgrade your Starlink speed and stability is to run two Starlink dishes. But to actually combine both Starlink connections into one faster, stronger internet link, you need connection bonding software like Speedify.
Speedify bonds your Starlink dishes for more upload and download bandwidth, smoother Zoom and Teams calls, and far more reliable livestreams. And when one dish drops, as Starlink often does, the other instantly takes over without lag or interruptions.
If you want more reliable, faster Starlink uploads and downloads, bonding multiple Starlink connections with Speedify is the most effective way to level up your satellite internet.

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.
3 Steps to Combine Starlink and Wi-Fi on a PC Using Speedify
Step 1: Connect to Your Starlink 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.
Verify that your Wi-Fi is enabled on your PC and connected to a network.
Click on the Wi-Fi symbol in the lower right corner of the taskbar (systray). If you’re not already connected to a Wi-Fi hotspot, turn on Wi-Fi by clicking on the tile in the lower left side of the pop-up menu then select the Wi-Fi hotspot associated with your Starlink connection and enter the password to connect.
Step 2: Configure and Connect your USB Wi-Fi Adapter
CONNECT TO A WI-FI NETWORK
Click on the Wi-Fi symbol in the lower right corner of the taskbar (systray). If your PC also has a built-in Wi-Fi card (or if you have multiple USB Wi-Fi cards connected) you should now see a drop down menu at the top of the dialog. Choose your new Wi-Fi adapter then select your desired Wi-Fi network from the list.
Step 3: Download and Install Speedify
Last but certainly not least, download and install Speedify. Once running, Speedify will automatically detect your Starlink connection and any other available Internet 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.
