This is the only network vulnerability scanner I can think of that doesn't require you to install a full-fledged antivirus.
If you use any of Avast's home products, those include a network vulnerability scanner. Same goes for mid-to-upper tier ESET home products (Internet Security and above). There are probably others that exist but I'm not aware of them.

I don't know if this is what you're looking for.

Not sure if this may help, but I know this:
"Router Checker is a free web-based tool you can use to check your device's connection to its DNS resolver, to make sure it is connecting to an authorized DNS server. A mismatch between the two may indicate DNS hijacking is underway."

There are some great overall tips in this thread;
Five ways to check if your router is configured securely
Don't use the default password keys on your router, change it and save it in your password-manager, so you don't forgot the new logins.
Hello,
You can use also this (for checking for VPNFilter malware):

Thank you all for your responses!! Also you may refer wifi guide to get some more information on this.
My shortlist for home WiFi is
If you do the above, you've cut out most common attack vectors, I'd say no need for a scanner, the UTM functionality should already offer that.
- Whitelist MAC addresses of your devices on the home network.
- Use a guest network for guests
- Block printer from connecting to the internet.
- Disable UPnP/ NAT punching
- Change default password for admin
- Change default password for WiFi
- Disable WPS

On my Mikrotik router I put guests and unknown tech on a virtual WIFI network bridged to an isolated VLAN (extra enforcement with firewall rules), I only have necessary management ports open on the main VLAN (no DNS caching on the router to reduce attack surface) and no port open from WAN/guest VLAN. For WIFI security I use WPA2 AES Only, no PMKID and no WPS. I prefer to just block ICMP redirect request opossed to blocking the entire protocol on the input chain, blocking ICMP completely can break things and decrease performance.
