If Starlink feels slow or keeps dropping, you can run it alongside a wired Ethernet connection on your Android phone or tablet at the same time.
Speedify is an app that combines multiple internet connections at once. It uses your Starlink Wi-Fi and wired Ethernet together for faster uploads and downloads, and keeps you online when Starlink drops. Speedify needs that wired line from a second provider, such as cable, DSL or fiber: on Starlink alone, it works as an encrypted VPN and cannot stop Starlink from dropping. Results vary by device, because some Android phones turn Wi-Fi off when Ethernet is plugged in, which stops Speedify from combining the two. This guide shows you how to set it up in three steps.
Note: Combine internet connections from different sources. Connecting to the same router over both Wi-Fi and Ethernet does not add speed, because both share one internet connection.
Combine Starlink Wi-Fi and Wired Ethernet to Increase Bandwidth and Lower Latency on Android
3 Steps to Combine Starlink Internet and Wired Ethernet at the Same Time on Your Android
Step 1: Connect to Your Starlink Wi-Fi Hotspot
First, set up your Starlink with the instructions that came in the box. This includes your Starlink Wi-Fi network name and password.
On your Android phone or tablet, open Settings and go to Connections > Wi-Fi (Samsung Galaxy) or Network & internet > Internet (Google Pixel). Other Android phones use similar menus. Turn Wi-Fi on, tap your Starlink Wi-Fi network, and enter its password.
Step 2: Connect Wired Ethernet to Your Android
To use a wired Ethernet connection on your Android phone or tablet, you need a USB Ethernet adapter that fits its port. Check the adapter's specifications or reviews to make sure it works with your phone or tablet.
Plug the adapter into your phone or tablet and connect an Ethernet cable from the adapter to your router or modem.
Step 3: Download and Install Speedify
Download and install Speedify. Speedify is an app that combines your Starlink with the other internet connections on your device, so your internet is faster, more reliable, and more secure.
Once running, Speedify finds your internet connections on its own and splits your traffic across them. If Starlink drops, Speedify moves your traffic to the internet connections that still work. Video calls and live streams get priority over background downloads and updates.
To see how each internet connection is doing, or to set a data limit on one, click or tap it in Speedify.
Speedify's cellular sharing adds more 4G/5G cellular: phones and computers running Speedify on the same local network share their 4G/5G cellular with each other.
