(Maybe there’s a way to set up a virtual ethernet device in Windows? Dunno.) I’m working around this by having plugged in a separate WiFi adapter that’s connected to one ISP, with the ethernet to the other. What I’d like to do is use a single ethernet adapter for both my ISPs and have Speedify bond two separate gateways. One drawback is that Speedify seems to require different actual network devices to bond.
The UI is pretty slick too, with decent monitoring and configurability. There’s a free no-account-required option for initial testing, limited to 2GB. Installs smoothly, autodetects your links, sets it all up and you’re running on Speedify in seconds.
ALTERNATIVE TO SPEEDIFY INSTALL
The Windows install experience is a dream. So far I’ve lost 0.4% of pings to 8.8.8.8 over most of an hour that’s better than I see using either ISP alone.
ALTERNATIVE TO SPEEDIFY FULL
That’s neat! Also speed tests show I’m getting the full speed of my Starlink, at least sometimes, so it’s not constrained to the lowest common denominator. But the video never stopped and the ssh session stayed alive, presumably using the Wifi backup to my other ISP. The main thing I know about Speedify is I was watching a Youtube video and had an open ssh session and unplugged my ethernet cable that connects me to Starlink. The emphasis on TCP is also a limitation, I’d like a redundancy solution for all IP not just TCP. The Linux kernel has support and there’s various implementations but I can’t tell if any of them are really usable a lot look like research projects. That’s a general technology for doing something similar. I imagine it’s particularly useful to bond crappy hotel wifi with a cellular hotspot (assuming you have two wifi adapters.)īefore I go on about Speedify I want to mention Multipath TCP. I’m using this to paper over Starlink’s unreliability. It can use extra links to boost speed or reliabilty or both. It’s a VPN service whose client on your desktop / laptop computer is smart enough to bond two Internet links. Trying to make my Starlink setup reliable enough to use regularly, I think I hit on a good consumer solution: Speedify.
