How to Use Ethernet, Wi-Fi and Bluetooth at Once on an iPad with Speedify

A winning combination…

With Speedify it’s possible to bond multiple Internet connections for their combined Speed and reliability. After learning that we could use an ethernet connection on an iOS device (with the right adapters) we had to see just how far we could take it!

While 15 connections is overkill for even the most diehard livestreamers – with just the Wi-Fi and Cellular connections on your iPhone you can get the best of what Speedify’s channel bonding technology offers – seamless failover, error correction, increased security and a speed boost when you need it most.

failover when a connection drops

With Speedify, your internet stays on when one connection fails.

When one of your internet connections drops, Speedify shifts your traffic to your remaining connections in under a second — so calls don’t cut out and downloads don’t stall.

Should you have a backup 4G, 5G, Starlink, or cable internet connection?

Yes — every internet connection goes down, including Starlink, which drops for ~34 minutes a day on average. A backup connection from a different provider means one outage never takes you fully offline. The most common options are a 4G/5G cellular hotspot, a cable or DSL line, or a second satellite dish.

Speedify bonds any two connections into one — automatic failover, more speed, no dropped calls.
