Can I use Wi-Fi and my Cellular Internet on Android? Yes, Speedify can help!

This article explains how to use Speedify on your Android phone to combine your Wi-Fi and cellular connections for a faster, more reliable internet connection. By using both networks at the same time, Speedify keeps you online even if one connection weakens or drops.


Requirements

  • The latest version of Speedify installed from the Google Play Store
  • Both Wi-Fi and mobile data available on your Android phone

Let's Get Started

Step 1

Connect your Android phone to a Wi-Fi network.

  1. Open Settings on your Android phone.
  2. Tap Network & Internet (some devices show this as Connections).
  3. Tap Wi-Fi and connect to your preferred network.
  4. You should see the Wi-Fi icon appear in your status bar once connected.

Step 2

Make sure mobile data is turned on.

  1. In Settings, go back to Network & Internet (or Connections).
  2. Tap Mobile network (some devices show this as SIMs).
  3. Toggle Mobile data on.
  4. Confirm you're getting a signal — you should see a mobile data indicator (4G, 5G, or LTE) in your status bar.

By default, Android phones only use one internet connection at a time. That's where Speedify comes in.

Step 3

Open Speedify and let it combine your connections.

  1. Launch the Speedify app.
  2. On the main dashboard, you'll see both Wi-Fi and Cellular listed as available connections.
  3. Speedify will automatically start combining both using its channel bonding technology.

If one connection drops - say, Wi-Fi goes out - Speedify seamlessly reroutes your traffic through cellular without interrupting your session.

Step 4

Confirm Speedify is combining both connections.

  1. Check the Speedify dashboard - both Wi-Fi and Cellular should show as Connected.
  2. You can run a speed test from the Performance Test section in the Speedify menu, or at speedtest.net, to see your combined speeds in action.

See Testing Speed in Speedify for more information.


Adjusting How Speedify Uses Each Connection

You can customize how Speedify handles each connection to get the most out of your setup.

Set Connection Priority

By default, each connection is set to Automatic priority. To maximize speed, tap a connection in the dashboard and set it to Primary - do this for both Wi-Fi and Cellular, and Speedify will actively use both at the same time.

Set Data Limits

If you're on a limited cellular plan, you can set a data cap on your cellular connection so Speedify doesn't exceed your monthly allowance.

For a full breakdown of these options, see Connection Settings.
