It’s impossible to tell if you’re infected - but the answer is to go out, spend $100 and buy a new router.
Lemme think....

I also should note that several of the newer rooters come from the factory with a derivative of the DD-WRT or Tomato third-party firmwares pre-installed. My main WiFi rooter at the moment is an ASUS that came with Tomato installed (which I have updated with a 'fork' of that firmware that takes me still a little further off the beaten path).

That is nowhere stated. The article further states that a "factory reset" will remove the infection. So easy a cave man could do it.

Sounds like a press release from Cisco Systems.
