Speedify Connects Two Starlink Internet Together

For Internet power users, remote workers or families in rural areas, a single Starlink connection can sometimes fall short, especially during congestion or bad weather.

You can merge two Starlink connections into one faster, more reliable Internet connection using the Speedify software-based bonding solution, all without the need for extra routers of networking gear.

Use the Speedify software app to avoid Starlink internet dropouts

Speedify fixes slow Starlink download and upload speeds and gets you faster internet download and upload speeds.. Use the Speedify app to combine your Starlink with another Starlink, Wi-Fi, 4G, 5G cellular, or a wired broadband internet connection and use them together at the same time. The Speedify software app works on Windows, Mac, Linux, iOS, Android and supported OpenWrt routers.

Speedify alerts you about your Starlink dish status

The Speedify software app alerts you about your Starlink dish status - i.e. when your actuator motor is stuck, the mast is not vertical or there's a thermal throttle. These Starlink dish alerts will appear on your Speedify software app dashboard and are triggered if the specific condition was met at least once in the previous 15 seconds. They will persist for as long as they are active.

Reasons to Combine Two Starlink Connections

Starlink can provide speeds ranging from 50 to 300 Mbps, but performance can be inconsistent due to things such as network congestion, bad weather and satellite handoff factors.

Connecting two Starlink cables together helps you:

  • Double your bandwidth potential
  • Maintain reliable service if one dish experiences issues
  • Improve performance for video calls, streaming, or remote work

Rather than investing in expensive load-balancing routers or multi-WAN appliances, you can use Speedify to do it all through a software app right on your computer, mobile device or supported multi-WAN router.

The best part? It's a connection bonding solution for Starlink - meaning it helps you combine multiple Starlink connections for you to use on any device. 

You will need the following:
