Use Two Wi-Fi Networks at Once with Speedify for the Bandwidth of Both
Windows and macOS cannot use two Wi-Fi networks at the same time on their own, but Speedify can. On a Windows PC, add a USB Wi-Fi adapter, connect it and the built-in Wi-Fi to different networks, and Speedify combines both into a single connection, so you get the bandwidth of both and stay online if either one drops.
The two networks can come from anywhere: your own router and a neighbor’s, Starlink and a 4G/5G hotspot, or a DSL line and a phone. Speedify is an app that combines Wi-Fi, 4G/5G cellular, Ethernet, Starlink and satellite internet connections into one faster, more reliable connection, and it runs on Windows and macOS.
Speedify uses every internet connection your device has, at the same time
How do I use WiFi and 4G/5G cellular at the same time with Speedify?
Pick your two internet connections and your device below and we'll take you to the step-by-step setup guide.
Step One: Connect to Your Primary Wi-Fi Network
Just connect your Mac or PC to Wi-Fi like you normally would using your computer’s internal Wi-Fi card.
Step Two: Connect to Your Secondary Wi-Fi Network
Since most computers today only come equipped with a single Wi-Fi card, you’ll need to purchase a low-cost USB Wi-Fi adapter to connect to a secondary Wi-Fi network. Once you plug in the USB Wi-Fi adapter, you should be able to choose and connect to another wireless network from the connections pane on your PC. On a Mac, USB Wi-Fi adapters only work on an Intel Mac running macOS 11 Big Sur (Speedify needs 11.5 or later), and need the Wi-Fi utility from the adapter maker. On a newer Mac, connect to the second router with an Ethernet cable instead. Once both connections are up, you’re ready to go!
The second Wi-Fi network has to come from a different internet connection than the first. Two Wi-Fi networks from the same router (such as its 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz bands) share one upstream internet connection, so combining them adds no bandwidth.
Step Three: Combine Two Wi-Fi Networks with Speedify
Now that you have both Wi-Fi networks connected to your computer, you’ll need Speedify to actually use them at the same time. Speedify combines every internet connection you have into one fast, reliable connection, and it also encrypts your traffic like a VPN, which keeps it hidden from snooping ISPs and from attackers on public networks.
To get started, download and install the software on your computer. Once Speedify is running, it detects both Wi-Fi connections and uses them together for their combined speed and reliability.
Speedify also runs on Linux, and the same two Wi-Fi setup works on Ubuntu. Speedify on Linux needs a paid plan, because the free tier is not available on Linux.
Don’t let the bandwidth of a second Wi-Fi network nearby go to waste: use both with Speedify. Try Speedify for free: a free account includes 5 GB per month.
