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.

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.

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.

Ping refers to the delay in milliseconds (ms) that data takes to travel between your device and a server, influencing the responsiveness of online activities like gaming and video calls. A low ping (under 50 ms) indicates quick data transmission, leading to smoother experiences, while high ping values result in delays and lag. Factors affecting ping include distance, network congestion, server location, and routing. It’s distinct from internet speed and can vary even with high-speed connections. Ping is crucial for real-time interactions, and some internet plans highlight low ping for activities like gaming, but other factors like server location also impact it significantly.
