Use Speedify as Your Starlink Companion
When the Starlink's motors can't work properly, it means that your Starlink dish can't get the best view of the sky it needs. This will affect your Internet performance - your video calls, streaming, and critical online work may stop working.
The Speedify app is here to help: run it to combine Starlink internet with 4G / 5G cellular, DSL or another older connection and avoid being disconnected from the Internet when your Starlink motors are stuck. Plus - now it’s easier to see what’s going on with your Starlink at all times, right in the Speedify app.
Should you get a second Starlink?
Is Starlink giving you great download speeds but weak uploads and random dropouts? Even with 100+ Mbps Starlink download speeds, many users get stuck with under 25 Mbps uploads, unstable connection issues.
A powerful way to upgrade your Starlink speed and stability is to run two Starlink dishes. But to actually combine both Starlink connections into one faster, stronger internet link, you need connection bonding software like Speedify.
Speedify bonds your Starlink dishes for more upload and download bandwidth, smoother Zoom and Teams calls, and far more reliable livestreams. And when one dish drops, as Starlink often does, the other instantly takes over without lag or interruptions.
If you want more reliable, faster Starlink uploads and downloads, bonding multiple Starlink connections with Speedify is the most effective way to level up your satellite internet.

Why Starlink Motors Get Stuck
Starlink dish motors become stuck due to several common causes, ranging from physical obstructions to software issues:
- Physical obstructions - the most common cause for Starlink motors stuck - often happens when the dish is installed too close to surfaces like walls or roofs, which block its rotation or tilting mechanisms.
- Weather-related issues - your Starlink dish may accumulate snow or ice, preventing the motors to move freely to track satellites.
- Hardware problems - the actual motor components may have failed or become mechanically jammed
- Software and firmware issues - a buggy firmware or momentary software glitch can have this effect. The software-related problems can be resolved with a simple system reboot.
Why You Need Speedify: It Combines Starlink with a Secondary Connection - 4G LTE / 5G Cellular, DSL, etc. - for Uninterrupted Internet
Most Starlink motor issues can be resolved by rebooting the system (in case of software bugs) or clearing the physical obstructions around the dish, including built-up ice. Sometimes the dish may have fallen or been knocked over. You won't be able to do that if you're in a video call, live streaming or playing games online at the very moment when your Starlink needs to move in order to have a better view of the sky. That's why it's important to use Speedify as a failover solution for your Internet.
Speedify's channel bonding technology allows you to combine your Starlink connection with any other available internet source:
- Cellular data (4G/5G)
- DSL or cable internet backup
- Public Wi-Fi within range
- Mobile hotspots
When Starlink motors become stuck, this causes a momentary outage. Speedify instantly shifts your traffic to your secondary connection, ensuring you stay connected without interruption or lag.
Use Speedify to Eliminate the Effects of Starlink Motors Being Stuck
- Get the Speedify app on your devices - it runs on Windows, Mac, Linux, Android, iOS and even on OpenWrt routers.
- Connect to both your Starlink and secondary internet source
- Let Speedify automatically combine these connections
- Enjoy uninterrupted internet regardless of dish motor issues.
Many users report that this approach not only solves their Starlink motors stuck problems but also increases their overall internet speed by combining connection bandwidth.
Don't let some mechanical issues affect your Starlink experience. Forget about Starlink motors stuck issues for good – keeping you connected no matter what stands between your dish and the satellites above.
