You Can Combine Multiple Internet Connections Together – Like Starlink, Wi-Fi, 4G, 5G, and DSL – with Speedify, to Fix Unstable Internet Connections
An unstable internet connection keeps wobbling rather than failing outright, and the “your internet connection is unstable” warning in Zoom is often the first sign. Sitting far from the Wi-Fi hotspot, weak cellular coverage, rain on a satellite dish and tired router hardware all produce the same stop-start pattern, and video calls notice it first.
Speedify is an app that carries your traffic over Wi-Fi, 4G/5G cellular, Ethernet (DSL, cable or fiber), Starlink and satellite internet connections together, so a wobble on one is covered by the others. That needs two or more connections: on a single connection, Speedify works as an encrypted VPN and cannot steady that connection. Further down are the causes, the troubleshooting steps that settle most of them, and what Speedify means for you: steady calls without waiting on any single internet connection to behave.
Why an Internet Connection Is Unstable: The Common Causes
Here are the most common causes of an unstable internet connection:
- Your wireless connection is acting up because:
- You are too far from the Wi-Fi router or hotspot, or walls and neighbouring networks interfere with the signal.
- You are in an area with poor cellular signal.
- Weather is affecting your satellite reception (heavy rain or snow on a Starlink or satellite dish).
- There is a problem with your network equipment: router, modem or cables.
- Your device has a problem: an outdated network driver, Wi-Fi power saving, or Low Data Mode or battery saver on a phone.
- Your internet provider is doing maintenance work or has an outage on its network.
How to Fix an Unstable Internet Connection
Try these steps, in order, to troubleshoot your unstable internet connection:
- Get closer to the Wi-Fi router or hotspot; being too far from it gives you flaky internet. On a cellular connection, move to a spot with better signal: step outside or near a window, away from thick walls.
- Check for an internet outage in your area on your internet provider’s status page (for example Comcast or Cox) or on a site such as downdetector.com.
- Restart your modem, router and other network equipment, such as fiber media converters and switches.
- Update your network equipment to the latest firmware, and make sure your computer has the latest network drivers.
- Use a different Ethernet cable between your router and your computer, as those can get damaged and malfunction.
Even when these steps fix internet that keeps connecting and disconnecting, the problem can come back. If your internet connection is still unstable, Speedify can combine all your available connections at the same time.
How to Avoid an Unstable Internet Connection with Speedify
Speedify combines Wi-Fi, 4G/5G cellular, Ethernet, Starlink and satellite internet connections to keep you online when it matters most. As long as you are connected to more than one internet connection, ideally from different providers, Speedify’s automatic failover protection moves your traffic to the working one when another wobbles or drops, and keeps the same public IP address, so calls and logged-in sessions carry on.
This matters most when losing the internet connection disrupts something happening in real time:
- Working remotely: an unstable connection means dropped online meetings and video conferences, and falling out of touch with your colleagues.
- Live streaming: Speedify prioritizes live streams over other types of internet traffic, so your Twitch, YouTube or other streams are protected first.
- Online gaming: you should not lose a game because of an internet glitch. Speedify keeps the game connected when one connection drops, and in Redundant Mode, Speedify sends each packet over every connection and uses the copy that arrives first, so your ping follows whichever connection is faster at that moment.
Unstable internet comes back from time to time on every kind of connection. With two or more internet connections and Speedify, the next wobble is covered instead of breaking your call.
