Use Speedify as Your Starlink Companion
When Starlink alerts you about having a software install pending, it means that it has downloaded the latest software and it's ready to install it. If you go ahead with it, the dish will apply the updates. While this happens, your video calls, streaming, and critical online work will 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 dish is installing the software updates. 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.

Combine multiple internet connections to fix slow Internet
Speedify is the only app that seamlessly combines all of your connections, including WiFi, 4G, 5G, Ethernet, and Starlink, into one stronger connection to keep you online and secure.
In most cases, Speedify will automatically detect and start using any available Internet connections on your device while intelligently distributing your online traffic between them for optimal performance. If you need help we have quick start guides available for most common set ups.
Combine personal hotspots for better bandwidth and signal strength
Speedify's Pair & Share is a feature that enables you to connect to multiple hotspots at the same time and wirelessly share LTE, 4G, and 5G cellular connections back and forth between multiple Speedify users on the same local network to create a faster, more reliable connection for everyone.
For the first time, it's possible to share cellular data between multiple devices, including PCs, Macs, iPhones and Androids. Use multiple phones as hotspots for internet access and get increased bandwidth and mobile failover for all paired devices.
Why Starlink Needs to Update Its Software
As with any modern device, Starlink also gets regular software updates which fix all kinds of bugs and errors while also improving the performance. These software updates are usually being release every 2 weeks and are intended not to disrupt the experience of the user. The Starlink will automatically reboot to apply software updates periodically at 3:00 AM local time +/- 30 minutes.
Why You Need Speedify: It Combines Starlink with a Secondary Connection - 4G LTE / 5G Cellular, DSL, etc. - for Uninterrupted Internet
When the Starlink has a software install pending, you need to update it. This affects your video calls, live streaming or online gaming sessions, as the dish will restart when applying the update. 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
Once Starlink is restarting to apply the software updates pending, your Starlink internet is no longer working. Speedify instantly shifts your traffic to your secondary connection, ensuring you stay connected without interruption or lag.
