If Starlink feels slow or keeps dropping, you can run it alongside a wired Ethernet connection on your iPhone or iPad 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. This guide shows you how to set it up in three steps.
Speedify bonds your Starlink with another Starlink, 4G/5G cellular, cable, DSL and splits traffic across them. If Starlink drops mid-call or mid-transfer, Speedify fails over to your remaining connections instantly.
NOTE: For best results, use internet connections from different sources. Joining one router over both Ethernet and Wi-Fi won't help.
Most Starlink users already run a second connection.
From a sample of 6,228 Starlink users on Speedify, 71% ran at least one other internet connection while using Starlink. Cellular is the most common choice of backup connection.

3 Steps to Combine Starlink Internet and Wired Ethernet at the Same Time on Your iPhone
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 iPhone or iPad and connected to a network.
Go to Settings > Wi-Fi and flip the switch to on. You can then select a network from the list that appears. Select the Wi-Fi hotspot associated with your Starlink connection and enter the password to connect.
Step 2: Connect Wired Ethernet to Your iPhone
In order to use an Ethernet connection on your iPhone or iPad, you’ll need a compatible Ethernet adapter.
IF YOUR DEVICE HAS A LIGHTNING PORT
You can use either a Lightning to USB3 adapter in conjunction with a USB Ethernet adapter or alternatively a dedicated Lightning to Ethernet adapter.
IF YOUR DEVICE HAS A USB-C PORT
You can use any USB-C Ethernet adapter or a USB-C hub that includes Ethernet.
Plug the adapter into your device and connect an Ethernet cable to it and your router or modem.
To double-check your Ethernet connection is working, go to Settings > Ethernet (on iOS devices this menu is hidden unless there is a compatible Ethernet adapter detected)
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.
