How to Stay Connected to the Internet When Starlink Is Stowed Using Speedify

Use Speedify as Your Starlink Companion

A “Starlink stowed” alert means your Starlink dish has folded down and shut off, so it is no longer providing internet.

Speedify is an app that combines Starlink with a second connection, such as a phone hotspot or cellular data, at once. While Starlink is stowed, Speedify keeps you online through the other connection so your video calls and work do not stop.

Why Your Starlink Is Stowed

When you stow your Starlink dish, you’re probably preparing to put it in storage or return it. You can do that from the Starlink app by selecting the option to “Stow Starlink”. You can also manually stow your Starlink using a simple procedure detailed in the manual or on Starlink’s website.

Once you initiate the stow procedure, Starlink will send an alert and you’ll be able to see it both in the Starlink app and in Speedify. So, in case you’re wondering why the Internet is not working and you’re seeing the “Starlink Stowed” alert, you’ll know the reason.

Why You Need Speedify: It Combines Starlink with a Secondary Connection – 4G LTE / 5G Cellular, DSL, etc. – for Uninterrupted Internet

When the Starlink dish is stowed, the Internet will not work anymore. This affects your video calls, live streaming or online gaming sessions. 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 stowed, your Starlink internet is no longer working. Speedify instantly shifts your traffic to your secondary connection, ensuring you stay connected without interruption or lag.
