Typically, antivirus software is designed to protect your device's operating system, not router firmware. It's best to maintain your router's firmware updates for security.

Typically the answer is NO. You need to use a network scanner like Nessus or something similar (NDR???) to find vulnerable routers. Shodan is great for finding vulnerable routers on the internet. Otherwise your SOL, most routers have in built AV/EDR/NDR now but whether they can pick up infected hardware is not clear.
