How to Combine Wi-Fi and a Tethered iPhone or Android on Your PC or Mac with Speedify

Want faster upload and download speeds and internet that stays online even if one connection drops out? Run Wi-Fi and a tethered phone at the same time.

Speedify is an app that combines two or more internet connections at once – such as Wi-Fi and a tethered iPhone or Android’s 4G/5G – so you get faster uploads and downloads and stay online if one connection drops out. It works on Windows and macOS.

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.

Speedify bonds any two connections into one — automatic failover, more speed, no dropped calls.

Step 3: Combine Tethered Phone and Wi-Fi with Speedify

Now that you have both Wi-Fi and your phone’s tethered mobile broadband network connected to your computer simultaneously, you might want to combine both for faster and more reliable Internet.

To get started with Speedify, simply download and install the application. (Speedify is currently available on PC, Mac, Android and iOS) Once running, you’ll see both Wi-Fi and tethered phone connections detected. That means you’re using both for their combined speed and reliability.
