Combine Wi-Fi and Wired Ethernet to Increase Bandwidth and Lower Latency on iPhone
Tired of slow or unreliable Internet? Have you ever wondered if it's possible to use the Wi-Fi connection on your iPhone / iPad AND a wired Ethernet connection at the same time? Lucky for you, it's easy with Speedify, the one of a kind channel bonding VPN.
Speedify is the only app available for all major platforms - Windows, MacOS, Linux, iOS, Android and OpenWrt - that combines your Wi-Fi, 4G / 5G cellular, wired, and even your friend’s phone signals – and turns them into one ultra-fast and super secure link that keeps you all connected for the best possible live streaming, video calling, or just posting to your favorite app.
Speedify can bond any number or combination of Internet connections and will intelligently distribute your online traffic among them for optimal performance. Plus, if you get disconnected from one of your connections in the middle of an important video call or file transfer, Speedify will seamlessly failover to your other working Internet connection(s) without skipping a beat.
NOTE: For best results, use Internet connections from different sources. In general, joining the same upstream network multiple times (such as the same router via Ethernet and Wi-Fi) will not improve performance.

In most cases, Speedify will automatically detect and start using any available Internet connections on your device while intelligently distributing your online traffic between them for optimal performance. If you need help we have quick start guides available for most common set ups.
Combine personal hotspots for better upload and download speeds
Speedify's Pair & Share feature enables you to connect to multiple hotspots at the same time and wirelessly share LTE, 4G, and 5G cellular connections back and forth between multiple Speedify users on the same local network to create a faster, more reliable connection for everyone.
For the first time, it's possible to share cellular data between multiple devices, including PCs, Macs, iPhones and Androids. Use multiple phones as hotspots for internet access and get increased bandwidth and mobile failover for all paired devices.
3 Steps to Combine Wi-Fi and Wired Ethernet at the Same Time on Your iPhone
Step 1: Make Sure Your iPhone Is Connected to Wi-Fi
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. Keep in mind, private networks may require you to enter a password before connecting.
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 any 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.
Whether at home, work, or on-the-go, Speedify is the only VPN that makes your online experiences faster, more reliable, and more secure.
