the differences so that you know which login to use when.
Several types of logins are associated with the router:

ISP login. The login that your Internet service provider (ISP) gave you logs you in to
your Internet service. Your ISP gave you this login information in a letter or some
other way. If you cannot find this login information, contact your ISP.

a unique WiFi network name (SSID) and password for WiFi access. This information
