Oh, then thats the same thing. I thought you meant the routers can be accessed remotely by ISPs for the first time setups. In my case, the technician is just more involved while they perform the router setup by asking the users what the SSID and password will be. I suppose it makes it easier for non-technical users who'd probably never change their WiFi password after the first setup. The account password is still left as the default one shown under the router, though.

I think that is router management and not router authorization.
