This article explains how to combine two Wi-Fi connections on your Mac using Speedify, so you can get faster upload and download speeds and a more reliable internet connection.

What You'll Need

Let's Get Started

Step 1

Connect your Mac to a Wi-Fi network using the built-in Wi-Fi connection.

2. Select a nearby Wi-Fi network from the list.
3. Enter the network password if prompted.

Step 2

Connect and configure your USB Wi-Fi adapter so your Mac has a second Wi-Fi connection available. Note that a secondary USB Wi-Fi connection is only supported on Macs running macOS 11 (Big Sur) or older.

1. Plug your USB Wi-Fi adapter into an available USB port on your Mac.
2. Open the wireless utility app for your adapter.
3. Select a Wi-Fi network from the list and connect to it. Enter the password if the network is private.

To confirm the adapter is recognized, go to System Preferences > Network and look for your USB Wi-Fi adapter in the list on the left. You should see it listed alongside your built-in Wi-Fi connection.

Step 3

Download, install, and launch Speedify.

1. Download Speedify and run the installer.
2. Once Speedify is running, it will automatically detect both of your Wi-Fi connections and begin combining them.
