Speedify Combines Two Starlink Internet Connections for Faster Upload and Download Speeds and Keeps You Online When One Drops
Yes, you can combine two Starlink internet connections. The result is one faster, steadier internet connection. The Starlink router doesn’t do it for you: each Starlink dish comes with its own Starlink router, and your devices use one of them at a time. To combine them, you need a router or a computer that runs Speedify.
Speedify is an app that uses all your internet connections at the same time, including two or more Starlink dishes. It runs on Windows, macOS, Linux, iOS, Android and supported routers, so you get nearly the full speed of both Starlink internet connections and stay online if either one drops.
Speedify combines multiple Starlink dishes for failover and faster uploads and downloads
Having Two Starlink Internet Connections Is Not the Same as Combining Them
Two Starlink internet connections at the same address means two Starlink dishes, two Starlink routers and two separate paths to the internet. By default, your device uses one at a time. You get no extra speed from the second Starlink dish, and if the first one drops, nothing moves you to the second one.
Speedify combines them. Speedify splits your outgoing internet traffic across both Starlink dishes, and Speedify’s servers put it back together on the other side. Incoming traffic works the same way, so both Starlink internet connections work as one.
If either Starlink internet connection weakens or goes offline, Speedify moves all your traffic to the one that works, right away. Your video calls and downloads keep going.
Both Starlink dishes use the same Starlink network, so a Starlink outage in your area still affects both. For a backup that doesn’t depend on Starlink, add 4G/5G cellular as a third internet connection.
Option 1: Combine Two Starlink Internet Connections on a Router That Runs Speedify
A router that runs Speedify combines both Starlink internet connections for every device on your network, including smart TVs, game consoles and other devices that can’t run Speedify themselves. Plug both Starlink routers into it, and every device on its Wi-Fi uses both Starlink dishes at once. The Miri X510 is a router that comes with Speedify built in, or you can use one of the routers that work with Speedify.
Option 2: Combine Two Starlink Internet Connections on One Computer
Step 1: Get Both Starlink Dishes Working
Set up and activate both Starlink dishes, each with its own Starlink router, and make sure each one gets you online.
Step 2: Connect Your Computer to Both Starlink Routers
Connect your computer to the first Starlink router with an Ethernet cable, and to the second Starlink router with a second Ethernet port or over Wi-Fi (a USB Wi-Fi adapter works too). Check your network settings to make sure both show up as separate, active internet connections.
Step 3: Download and Run Speedify
Download Speedify and install it on your computer. Speedify finds both Starlink internet connections and starts using them together right away, with no settings to change.
How Speedify Handles Two Starlink Internet Connections
Speedify keeps checking both Starlink internet connections: their speed, their delay and how much data they lose. When both work well, Speedify uses both at the same time. When one weakens, Speedify moves your traffic to the other one without dropping what you are doing.
Speedify also encrypts all your internet traffic across both Starlink internet connections.
Who Should Combine Two Starlink Internet Connections with Speedify
- Remote workers and households where one Starlink internet connection isn’t steady enough for daily work and video calls
- Small businesses that depend on Starlink and need more upload and download speed than one Starlink dish gives them
- Live event teams who upload and stream at the same time and need the speed of both Starlink dishes
- Emergency services and response teams who can’t lose the internet in the middle of an operation
- IT teams running two Starlink dishes who want them combined in software, on a computer or a router

Speedify Also Shows the Status of Both Starlink Dishes
Speedify shows real-time Starlink dish alerts for each Starlink dish in the app. If either Starlink dish has a stuck motor, a pole that isn’t straight, or is overheating, Speedify shows the alert once the problem has lasted 15 seconds, and clears it when it’s fixed.
That gives you one place to manage both Starlink internet connections and keep an eye on both Starlink dishes. On Linux, follow the Ubuntu guide for two Starlink dishes.
