By default, the Movistar router is configured so that anyone can connect to it and use it to browse the Internet. This can be a security issue, as anyone could use your Internet connection to do whatever they want. Fortunately, it is possible to change the settings of the router so that it can only be used with a password. Follow these steps to configure the Movistar router safely.
