Presumably so you’ll be forced to use their DNS, which lets them know what sites you go to. So thanks for that Shaw.

    You shouldn’t be using an ISP-supplied router anyway, right?

    You don’t know what they’ve put in the firmware for remote management.

    Even buying the same model router from a store to replace the ISP one would be preferable.

      I know, but I live with my parents who don’t want to do that.

        In that case I would look into switching ISPs, or maybe connect another router and put the ISP-supplied one in bridge mode if possible.
