You Can Combine Multiple Internet Connections Together – Like Starlink, Wi-Fi, 4G, 5G, and DSL – with Speedify, to Fix FaceTime Connection Issues
FaceTime’s “Your connection is unstable” warning means the call is not getting data through smoothly, usually because of the Wi-Fi or cellular connection on your end. Blurry video, half-heard words and calls that end themselves are what a struggling internet connection does to FaceTime. Your home provider slows at busy hours, the Wi-Fi thins out at the far end of the house, and your iPhone quietly hands the call to 4G/5G cellular when you step outside. Each of those moments leaves gaps FaceTime cannot hide.
Speedify is an app that uses your Wi-Fi and your 4G/5G cellular at once, so a dip on your Wi-Fi is covered by cellular before the FaceTime call notices. Speedify can only keep you online through a drop when it has two or more internet connections to work with, for example Wi-Fi plus your phone’s 4G/5G cellular. On a single connection, Speedify works as an encrypted VPN and cannot stop that connection from dropping. Here is what causes FaceTime connection trouble, the fixes to try, and what using Speedify does for call quality.
Speedify keeps your call running when the connection under it fails.
What Causes Poor Connection Issues on FaceTime?
You need a fast and stable internet connection to prevent FaceTime connection issues. Unfortunately, things can go wrong when you’re least expecting:
- your home ISP can do maintenance work, so the Internet might be very slow, if not disconnect altogether.
- your Wi-Fi router and/or modem can have temporary issues.
- if you’re using 4G/5G cellular, there might be an issue with the cell tower. Or you might have gone over your data plan for 4G / 5G speeds.
Whatever the cause, it’s frustrating when you can’t trust your Internet connection for simple video calls.
How to Fix FaceTime Connection Issues
You might think that restarting your Wi-Fi router / modem could help. It can, but for how long? Calling your ISP could also help in reporting an issue, but how long will it take them to fix the problem? And can they guarantee that it won’t happen again?
Solution 1: Get a faster Internet package from your ISP. Of course, if you have the budget and your ISP can offer that. But that can be costly and you’d still be dependent on one Internet service provider.
Solution 2: Get an extra Internet connection from a different ISP. Preferably from a different source type, meaning that if you already have cable Internet, try to get a cellular plan. Or if you have satellite Internet, at least go for DSL. Oh, and you have to think about a fast solution to switch between these connections, should one of them fail. Otherwise, you’ll still be disconnected from those video conferences…
Solution 3: Use Speedify. Speedify can combine two or more Internet connections together at the same time, so as long as one of those connections is up and running, you’ll be online.
How Speedify Fixes FaceTime Connection Issues
You may be thinking: “Oh, look… yet another load balancing software…” and you’d be wrong! Speedify does much more than load balancing: combining connections. Speedify can use all the connections at the same time and will intelligently reroute traffic to the working connection(s) in milliseconds when one of them stops working, keeping the same public IP address so your video calls and streams carry on.
If you are facetiming on your iPhone for example, you can use both your Wi-Fi and cellular connection to ensure a smooth video call.
Speedify also encrypts traffic going in and out of your device, like a VPN. This means that your data is safe even on public networks!
