How To Fix Slow Internet Problems On Your MacBook
A laptop moves, and the Wi-Fi moves with it – the far end of the house, a kitchen table two walls from the router, a cafe. A MacBook will keep holding a weak signal rather than switching to something better.
Speedify is an app that runs your MacBook on more than one internet connection at once, so a weak Wi-Fi signal is topped up by cellular data or Ethernet instead of being all you have.
You will see why the internet is slow on a MacBook Pro or Air, how using every available connection at once fixes it, and what else Speedify gives you.
Why Is Internet so Slow on My MacBook Pro?
Unfortunately everybody is familiar with symptoms of slow internet; these apply to MacBooks as well. Just to name a few:
- downloads / uploads are slow;
- videos are buffering;
- you experience stuttering and buffering when video conferencing;
- websites / apps take forever to load or refresh.
The reasons for MacBook Pro slow internet are usually:
- poor connection issues (e.g. connecting from rural or remote areas)
- temporary ISP infrastructure problems
- router / modem issues
- you’re too far from the Wi-Fi router / hotspot
[FIXED] MacBook Pro Slow Internet – Use All Available Connections at Once
Spending time to troubleshoot your slow Internet connection on your MacBook Pro is certainly an option. And you should definitely do that when you have time to spare. After all – you should make sure you’re getting what you’re paying for from your ISP.
But when you need something that will always work, you should look at Speedify. It not only fixes slow internet on MacBooks, but can also help you avoid that in the first place.
As a fast bonding VPN, Speedify allows you to use all of your available connections at once on your MacBook. Remember – that’s “at once” and not “switching between them” – here’s the difference.
Speedify dynamically sends traffic through all your networks – Wi-Fi, wired Ethernet, cellular, etc. – depending on each network’s performance, to get you the fastest, most stable and secure Internet at any given time. If one of the connections drops (e.g. you connect to a sticky Wi-Fi hotspot), Speedify will move more traffic over cellular or wired Ethernet. And it’s all seamless to you, even when streaming – you won’t even know it happened till you check the stats in the app.
How to use Speedify on Your MacBook
It’s simple – use integrated and external network adapters on your MacBook to connect to different networks. Speedify will automatically recognize each new connection and start using it. You can find more details about combining different connections types in our knowledge base.
Speedify – the Best Way to Get Fast, Reliable and Secure Internet on Your MacBook
Aside from getting you fast and stable Internet connectivity, Speedify uses servers in the cloud and encrypts your traffic to and from those servers. This means that your online activity is safe from hackers and cyber criminals that might be lurking on public Wi-Fi networks for example.
This comes in handy also when the network you’re connected to restricts access to certain websites and apps – mostly streaming and social media ones – YouTube, Facebook, TikTok, etc. This is the case for many educational and office networks. The point is that with the traffic being encrypted, you can access those websites freely.
There’s another upside to this: you can choose the servers to connect to, including those in other countries. So, if you’re abroad or need to access a local resource within a country, connect to a server in the region where access is not blocked and you’re all set!
To wrap this up – use Speedify to fix MacBook Pro slow internet and get peace of mind when it comes to internet connectivity in general.
