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. The Ethernet line has to come from a different internet connection, such as cable, DSL or fiber: with Starlink alone, Speedify works as an encrypted VPN and cannot stop Starlink from dropping. 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.
Speedify combines Starlink with other internet sources for faster uploads and downloads, and failover

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, set up your Starlink with the instructions that came in the box. This includes your Starlink Wi-Fi network name and password.
On your iPhone or iPad, go to Settings > Wi-Fi and turn Wi-Fi on. Tap your Starlink Wi-Fi network and enter its password to connect.
Step 2: Connect Wired Ethernet to Your iPhone
Use an Ethernet cable from a different internet connection, such as a cable, DSL or fiber modem. An Ethernet cable from your Starlink router gives Speedify the same Starlink internet connection twice, which adds no speed and no failover.
To use a wired Ethernet connection on your iPhone or iPad, you need an Ethernet adapter that fits its port.
IF YOUR DEVICE HAS A LIGHTNING PORT
Use Apple's Lightning to USB 3 Camera Adapter with a USB Ethernet adapter, or use a Lightning to Ethernet adapter.
IF YOUR DEVICE HAS A USB-C PORT
Use any USB-C Ethernet adapter, or a USB-C hub with an Ethernet port.
Plug the adapter into your device and connect an Ethernet cable from the adapter to your router or modem.
To check that the Ethernet connection works, go to Settings > Ethernet. iOS shows this menu only when it detects a compatible Ethernet adapter.
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.
