Hummm, if your only router is the one supplied by your service provider, that could allow anyone to get into your network. My AT&T box acts as a router too but I added my own router inside the IP address of that box. I would suggest getting your own router and use that for security.

Generally routers have an IP address such as 192.168.1.50 or similar and this runs in your web browser such as Edge or other application. Generally the user name is Administrator and with the box I have is case sensitive. Password can be anything you want but change it frequently.

One last item is to be wary of Chinese sourced routers as many have a "back door" built in as the ones sold some years ago in the San Jose and San Francisco area and the FBI busted a wide ranging computer theft ring with counterfit boxes!
