Are there any options for wireless internet service?

Peace Power is a provider of high-speed home internet services that uses fibre optic cables to connect to a modem, which in turn provides wireless internet to the home. The modem acts as a bridge between the fibre optic cable and the wireless router, allowing multiple devices in the home to connect to the internet wirelessly. This setup provides a convenient and fast way for customers to access the internet at home.

Choosing a strong modem for your house involves considering several factors to ensure reliable and high-speed internet connectivity. Here’s a step-by-step guide to help you pick the right modem:

  1. Check Compatibility with Your ISP: The first and most crucial step is to ensure that the modem you choose is compatible with your Internet Service Provider (ISP). ISPs often provide a list of approved modems on their website. Make sure to check this list or contact your ISP to confirm compatibility.
  2. Determine Your Internet Plan: Different internet plans offer varying speeds (measured in Mbps). Make sure to know the speed of the plan you are subscribed to or plan to subscribe to. This will help you choose a modem that can handle the maximum speed of your plan.
  3. Choose the Right Modem Type:
    • Cable Modems: If your ISP delivers internet via cable, you’ll need a cable modem. These are common and provide good speeds.
    • DSL Modems: If you have a DSL connection, you’ll need a DSL modem. These are usually slower than cable modems.
    • Fiber Optic Modems: If you have a fiber optic connection, you’ll need a modem specifically designed for fiber optics.
  4. Consider DOCSIS Version (For Cable Modems): If you’re getting a cable modem, consider the Data Over Cable Service Interface Specification (DOCSIS) version. Higher DOCSIS versions generally support faster speeds. For example, DOCSIS 3.0 and 3.1 modems are common today.
  5. Look for Channel Bonding: Modems with more channel bonding capabilities can handle higher speeds and traffic. Look for modems that offer 16×4, 24×8, or higher channel bonding for better performance

    You can always trust Peace Power to provide you with the best internet support and service. If you need advice on which modem is best for you, feel free to reach out to us and we’d be happy to assist!

Upload speed refers to the rate at which data can be sent from your device to the internet. It is an essential component of your internet plan, alongside download speed. Upload speed is measured in megabits per second (Mbps) and affects activities such as uploading files, video conferencing, online gaming, cloud storage, livestreaming, and data backups. While download speeds are usually higher in most internet plans, a good upload speed is crucial for smooth and efficient data transmission from your device to the online world.

The five services related to internet access: are broadband internet, fibre-optic internet, wireless internet, satellite internet, and dial-up internet. Broadband is the most popular choice due to its availability in most areas and fast connection speed. Fiber-optic is a newer technology that offers faster speeds than traditional broadband. Wireless internet is available in areas with good cell phone reception. Satellite internet can be used in remote areas and is usually a slower option of the five. Dial-up provides an inexpensive way to access the internet, but it’s typically your slowest option.

  4. Disable remote management of your modem to prevent unauthorized access.
  5. Set up a guest network for visitors to isolate them from your main network.

An IP address, or Internet Protocol address, is a numerical label assigned to each device connected to a computer network using the Internet Protocol for communication. IP addresses serve two primary functions: host or network interface identification and location addressing. They allow devices to send and receive data on the internet by providing a unique identifier for each device. IP addresses come in two main formats: IPv4, which consists of four sets of numbers, and IPv6, a more recent version designed to accommodate the growing number of devices connected to the internet.

The terms “Internet” and “World Wide Web” are often used interchangeably, but they refer to distinct concepts. The Internet is a vast global network of interconnected computers and servers, that facilitate data transmission and communication. The World Wide Web, on the other hand, is a subset of the Internet comprising web pages, websites, and multimedia content accessible through web browsers. While the Internet encompasses a broader range of technologies and services, the World Wide Web specifically focuses on the presentation and retrieval of information through web pages.
