How do I set up internet when renting?

The Internet is a global network of interconnected computers and servers that allows users to access and share information and resources. It functions through a system of data transmission using protocols like TCP/IP. When a user requests a webpage or data, the request is sent through their device, router, and various network nodes to reach the server where the data is stored. The server processes the request and sends the data back through the same route to the user’s device, enabling seamless communication and data exchange.

Yes, securing your modem is essential to protect your home network and sensitive information from potential cyber threats. Unsecured modems can be vulnerable to unauthorized access, data breaches, and malware attacks. Securing your modem helps prevent unauthorized users from accessing your network, ensures your personal data remains confidential, and reduces the risk of cyberattacks that could compromise your devices and online activities.

To block neighbors from your Wi-Fi:

1. Access your router’s admin interface.
2. Navigate to the MAC filtering section.
3. Enable MAC address filtering and add only the MAC addresses of your authorized devices.
4. Disable guest network access if not needed.
5. Regularly review and update the list of allowed MAC addresses. By implementing MAC filtering and other security measures, you can effectively block unauthorized devices, including those of your neighbors, from accessing your Wi-Fi.
