Speedify Lets You Use Multiple Starlink Dishes at the Same Time for Faster Upload and Download Speeds
Yes, you can use multiple Starlink dishes at the same time: two, three or more, even 10 Starlink dishes at one business site. Each Starlink dish is a separate internet connection with its own Starlink router, and on its own your device still uses only one of them at a time.
Speedify is an app that uses all your internet connections at the same time. With Speedify, every Starlink dish you connect adds speed, and if one drops, the others keep you online. Below: how running several Starlink dishes works, how many you can use, and how to set them up.
Speedify combines multiple Starlink dishes for failover and faster uploads and downloads
What It Means to Run Multiple Starlink Dishes at the Same Time
By default, your device connects to one Starlink dish at a time. You can switch between Starlink dishes by hand, but that adds no speed, and nothing moves you over when the one you use drops.
Speedify uses all of your Starlink dishes together. Speedify sends your internet traffic over every Starlink dish at the same time. If one Starlink dish drops because of weather, an obstruction or a busy network, Speedify moves its traffic to the others, and your video calls and downloads keep going. For a larger setup, see how to use 6 Starlink dishes at once.
The practical limit is your device: every Starlink dish needs its own Ethernet port, USB adapter or Wi-Fi connection.
All your Starlink dishes use the same Starlink network, so a Starlink outage in your area affects all of them. For a backup that doesn’t depend on Starlink, add 4G/5G cellular too.
How Speedify Handles Multiple Starlink Internet Connections at Once
Speedify keeps checking every Starlink internet connection: its speed, its delay and how much data it loses. When all of them work well, Speedify spreads your internet traffic across all of them and gives you nearly the full speed of all your Starlink dishes combined.
When one Starlink dish weakens or drops, Speedify moves its traffic to the others. You don’t have to do anything.
Speedify also encrypts all your internet traffic across every Starlink dish.
How to Use Multiple Starlink Dishes at the Same Time with Speedify
Step 1: Set Up Each Starlink Dish
Install and activate each Starlink dish. Each one has its own Starlink router. Write down each Starlink router’s Wi-Fi name, and whether you’ll connect to it over Wi-Fi or with an Ethernet cable.
Step 2: Connect Your Device to Every Starlink Router
Give each Starlink router its own connection to your device: Ethernet cables to separate Ethernet ports or USB Ethernet adapters, and Wi-Fi or USB Wi-Fi adapters for the rest. Check your network settings to make sure each one shows up as a separate, active internet connection. For three or more Starlink dishes, a router that works with Speedify is often easier than one computer, and it covers every device on your network.
Step 3: Download and Run Speedify
Download Speedify and install it on your device. Speedify finds every active internet connection and starts using them together right away, with no settings to change.
From then on, Speedify handles all your Starlink dishes in the background: it combines them for faster uploads and downloads, watches each one, moves your traffic when one drops, and encrypts everything.

Speedify Shows the Status of All Your Starlink Dishes at Once
The Starlink app shows one Starlink dish at a time, because every Starlink dish uses the same 192.168.100.1 address. Speedify’s Starlink Control Center shows the live status of all your Starlink dishes side by side, with real-time Starlink dish alerts for each one. If any 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.
