USB Mobile Broadband Dongles for Laptops – a Real Help for Being Always Online
Want faster, more reliable internet on your Windows laptop when there is no Wi-Fi around? A 4G/5G cellular USB dongle gets you online, and you can combine it with Wi-Fi for even more speed.
Speedify is an app that combines two or more internet connections at once – such as a 4G/5G dongle and Wi-Fi – so you get faster uploads and downloads and stay online if one connection drops out. Here is how to set up your dongle on Windows.
With Speedify, your internet stays on when one connection fails.
When one of your connections drops, Speedify automatically routes your traffic to your remaining connections — so calls don't cut out and downloads don't stall.
How do I use WiFi and 4G/5G cellular at the same time with Speedify?
Pick your two internet connections and your device below and we'll take you to the step-by-step setup guide.
Guide to Setup Your 4G LTE / 5G Cellular Dongle for Laptop PC to Access the Internet
Step 1: Install your 4G / 5G USB dongle on your laptop PC.
Connect the dongle through a USB port to your PC. If running Windows 10, it’s highly possible it will automatically set up the connection for you. In order to confirm this, click on the computer / Wi-Fi icon in the lower right area of the taskbar (systray) and check if a “Cellular” tile shows up.
If this doesn’t happen, make sure you run the installer program provided to you along with the 4G / 5G USB dongle. This may be directly on the dongle – check out “My Computer” / “This PC” for any CD / removable drives and run the setup program. You may be required to restart your PC after setting this up.
Step 2: Connect to the Internet using the 4G / 5G USB dongle.
Make sure you run the proprietary software to connect to the Internet on your Windows laptop, if that exists. Usually it will be detected by your PC as a cellular connection or a Wi-Fi connection.
If you can’t connect, check to see if Windows installed a cellular adapter. Go to Network Connections (Windows key + X – “Network Connections”) and click on “Change adapter options” on the right. The 4G / 5G USB dongle should be listed there. If it’s not connected, click on “Diagnose this connection”.
If you still can’t connect to the Internet after troubleshooting this, contact your ISP / network provider.
That’s all there is on setting up your 4G LTE / 5G cellular dongle for laptop to go online!
Now – feel free to toss this cellular connection into any existing combination of active Internet connections on your PC. Use Speedify for Windows to combine them.
